On this episode of the Osborne Adventure Podcast, Val and I sit down to plunge headfirst into the latest updates on our countdown to setting sail. We cover everything from our refit timeline and the current projects underway to key dates and responsibilities as we prepare for our global expedition. We’ll take you behind the scenes of our recent trip to the Annapolis Boat Show, share insights on new partnerships, and reveal what it’s like to be selling our home and just about everything we own. We also share updates on the kids, the hurdles our family has to overcome, and the many sacrifices we’re making to make this expedition possible. Join us as we pull back the curtain on what it takes to make this dream happen.
The Heart of Salome: An Interview with Lou & Judy - Ep. 22
On this episode of the Osborne Adventure Podcast, we invite you to sit around the table with us for an intimate, long-form conversation with Lou and Judy, the incredible couple behind the foundation of our expedition, Salome. From the start, Lou and Judy believed in us and, through unimaginable kindness, made the purchase and refit of Salome possible. Most importantly, they have become our dearest friends in the process. Join us as Lou shares the moment he first stepped aboard Salome and, despite knowing the years it would take to get her back on the water, felt he was home. Judy recounts her journey, from a childhood shaped by the sea's embrace to her connection with Lou, sparked by an unforgettable experience on Salome.
Over shared stories and laughter, they open up about why they so deeply believe in our mission. This episode offers a warm, unfiltered look at two people who have become a cornerstone of Osborne Adventure. Join us for stories of belief, friendship, and the unbreakable bonds forged through a shared dream.
