Kevin Boothby and the Philosopher's Sandbar

The American Inquisition | Ep. 301
I am boarded by Customs and Border Patrol. They crash into me and damage the boat. After checking my documents and rifling through my things, they leave. Good riddance! Soon after I'm contending with a nasty squall. I finally make it into Biscayne B...
Sailboats are No Respecters of Schedules | Ep. 300
