=== Sailing the Historic Coasts (02:22) ===

[00:00:02]  Ahoy, Skeptoid Adventurers!
[00:00:05]  Join me on our most ambitious Skeptoid Adventure yet as we go aboard the world's largest sailing vessel for an exploration of the historic coasts of Spain and France.
[00:00:17]  Aboard the SV Royal Clipper, you can handle the sails.
[00:00:21]  You can climb the rat lines and look out from the crow's nest.
[00:00:25]  You can go out on the bowsprit or drop down and take a nap in the netting, the waves below you.
[00:00:31]  You can even go up to the bridge and take the helm and actually steer the ship.
[00:00:37]  Or you can come below to the ship's conference room where I'll be hosting a skeptical mini-conference one day.
[00:00:43]  The other days we'll be visiting secluded ports, not the big busy ones, but small ones free of tourist traps.
[00:00:50]  And at each, I'll have a skeptical quest for you.
[00:00:54]  From Málaga, Spain, we'll stop at Valencia, Palma de Mallorca, Menorca, Corsica, Calvi, and finally, Nice on the French Riviera.
[00:01:04]  All small harbors that cruise ships can't get near.
[00:01:08]  You'll do it all in a sailing ship on the calm Mediterranean.
[00:01:11]  No shops, casinos, or stage shows on board.
[00:01:15]  At our ports, you'll find no crowds, lines, or hassles.
[00:01:20]  Maybe you need some adventure.
[00:01:22]  Maybe you need a break from being in the United States right now.
[00:01:25]  Maybe you want a quiet place to read a book for a week.
[00:01:29]  Maybe you want to meet some new like-minded friends with whom you can sip some fine wine and comfortable deck chairs.
[00:01:36]  Whatever it is you crave, Skeptoid Adventures has your answer.
[00:01:41]  Come to the website and look at the pictures.
[00:01:43]  See what a gorgeous, full-rigged sailing ship the Royal Clipper is.
[00:01:48]  Have a look at your cabin and the accommodations, and enjoy pictures and descriptions of the ports.

[00:02:06]  This ship always sells out, often by the end of October, so you will need to reserve your spot fast.
