Show Notes

A fun episode with a great group if sailors who shared a special expedition from Bermuda to Rockland in July 2021 with us. We talk real candidly about about romance of life offshore and the challenges, like waking up for watch, heaving-to so close to land, using the head, cooking underway, going to sleep, steering in big swells, and dodging lightening. Real people, real sailing.
