Sober Sailor

08/31/2026

Buoy 10 is starting to wrap up, with Chinook retention coming to an end after September 2.

The marina is getting quieter, the buzz is calming down, and another incredible season is coming to a close. This year brought hard work, even harder fishing, plenty of laughs, unforgettable memories, a whole lot of content to go through, and some awesome new friendships.

But the biggest win of all? I’m still sober.

Never forget—I’m an addict in recovery, and the fact that I continue choosing sobriety every single day is nothing short of a Godsend. Life isn’t always easy, and neither was this season, but I wouldn’t trade these memories for anything.

I may have found a new addiction…but boats, salmon, and fishing are still a hell of a lot better than drugs and women. 😂🎣⛵️

Here’s to the memories we made, the friendships we found, and another season of staying the course.

Do you have an emotional support otter?

Happy Sunday. What are you doing today?

The fact she can come stay on the boat over night is a big deal. We have a choice every day we wake up sober . Sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly our lives change.

Man, life gets busy—sometimes even busier in sobriety than we ever expected.

I’m lucky that so much of my content is about recovery. But like many addicts, I can still become addicted to something else. For me, it’s fishing, working, and always chasing the next project.

Those things aren’t bad, but they can distract us from the roots that got us here: meetings, reaching out, helping others, and staying connected.

Fishing may bring me peace, but it doesn’t replace recovery.

Today I’m reminding myself—and anyone else who needs it—to slow down, make the call, get to a meeting, and never forget your roots.

Stay the course. ⚓️

Sober Sailor check-in. ⚓️

How’s everybody doing today — really doing?

Life has been moving fast lately. Fishing, work, boats, content, and everything in between. Some days feel like smooth water, and some days feel like you’re getting beat up in the Columbia River washing machine. 😂

But today I’m grateful to be here, grateful to be sober, and grateful for another chance to keep moving forward.

So check in below:
How are you doing today?
What’s one win you’ve had lately — even if it’s something small?

Remember, you don’t have to have everything figured out today. Just keep showing up.

Stay the course. ⚓️

⚓ **SOBER SAILOR CHECK-IN** ⚓

Been a hell of a few weeks.

We made it down to Astoria, we’re living that Buoy 10 life, chasing salmon, working on boats, making content, and somewhere in between trying to remember to slow down and enjoy the damn ride.

Recovery doesn’t stop just because life gets busy.

Some days are smooth water. Some days you’re getting your ass kicked by the current. The important part is **staying the course.**

The Sober Sailor has always been about showing the real s**t — the wins, the struggles, the fishing, the sailing, the family, the work, and what life actually looks like on the other side of addiction.

And lately?

Life has been pretty damn full. 🎣⛵

There’s a LOT more Buoy 10 content coming — fishing tips, salmon, life aboard **SV Friendship**, some chaos, some laughs, and plenty of recovery mixed into all of it.

If you’re fighting your own battle today:

**Just make it through today.
Tomorrow can wait.**

⚓ One day at a tide.

Thank you to everybody following along, sharing the videos, commenting, and supporting this crazy little mission.

**The Sober Sailor is just getting started.** 🌊
