“I believe you are the bravest, most courageous cruisers: adventuring across the world and below the sea, anchoring alone in coves, traveling up rivers by inflatable, enduring lightning, hiking with a broken foot, becoming infected with parasites from walking barefoot on the beach, sailing in Beaufort scale gales, traveling at night in shipping lanes and on and on…
Any advice on how I can get braver?” Susan King FTBMates
Our “Casting Off” video podcasts are a no-holds-barred, unedited look at sailing and travel. They help us keep up with YOU in as close to real-time as possible.
In this episode, recorded Tuesday 8th Feb, we continue the boating banter. We talk about what’s happening right now and discuss your comments on the most recent followtheboat episodes. Or anything else that takes our fancy.
