Salt & Tar: Ep.107- Rudder Cheeks & Catheads
Got to love boat terminology. Catheads, baggy wrinkles, and gollywobbler are some of my favorites. Today we not only work on the rudder cheeks so we can have a legit tiller but also our catheads. Anything and everything old school sailing makes us happy. We’re still on the hunt for a badass fisherman’s anchor to hang on these bad boys 😉 Not that Garrett needs anymore anchors… I think we have 6 currently, Bruce and Danforths mostly. Hope you enjoy the episode! Leave me a comment if you like the longer video and more of the labor noises than music.
Thanks everyone!
