Waterspouts and Traffic Jams – Ep. 113

Gentlemen Really Shouldn’t Sail to Weather – Ep 109
A word of advice. It's perhaps not the best idea to take two ladies on a sailing passage that turns into a tough upwind bash. Especially when it's the first time one of them has ever sailed overnight! Our friend Sara had a flight to catch on the island ...
