At Witt's End
How's it doing?! My name is Carson and I am hosting a podcast alongside my dad Ken called At Witt's End! It's a show where we talk about life, current events, past experiences, and anything else on our minds. Currently, I am pursuing my Masters's in Computer Science, working full time, and coaching American Football in Austria while Ken is located 9(!) timezones away in California, back where I group up! We hope you enjoy your time with us and always welcome comments and feedback from our listeners. Find us on Youtube(At Witt's End) and TikTok(@atwittsend_) for vodcasts, short form, and more!

SAIL Amsterdam: A 10-Year Journey to the World's Largest Nautical Festival - Ep 67
On Episode 67 of At Witt's End, Carson recounts his epic solo trip to a festival 10 years in the making: SAIL Amsterdam. After a Reddit post sparked a fascination in 2016 and a global pandemic canceled the family's plans in 2020, Carson finally made the journey to the world's largest nautical festival.
Join us as Carson details his adventure, starting with a unique trip from Austria on the Nightjet sleeper train in a claustrophobic "capsule pod." He then dives into the festival, which coincided with Amsterdam's 750th birthday, describing the incredible "SAIL In" parade where thousands of boats escort majestic tall ships from around the world into the harbor. Hear about boarding a massive Peruvian naval vessel, witnessing a pink Cadillac Eldorado cruise the canals on a pontoon, and the fun local tradition of passing beer up to sailors in buckets.
Was this once-every-five-years event worth the decade-long wait? Tune in to find out!
