I’m getting ready to move to Seattle soon, and this podcast has been an incredible resource for me because I don’t know how to sail (yet), but through the podcast I’ve been able to learn MUCH more about the SCAMP Sailboat and other helpful resources for starting my sailing journey! Glad you’re back, Dan!
