#10 | Deep Dive | Weathering Lockdown

In this episode I take a look at the transferable skills sailors possess that could prove useful in the global crisis we are all now facing.

With a unique outlook created by the unusual nature of sailing compared to all other sports, could offshore sailors prove to be a positive force during lockdown and beyond?

I also answer a listener question and reveal my maximum recorded speeds & maximum day's distance sailed and discuss fluid intake at sea- I also give thanks to my first Patreon supporter- 'Sailing Starbuck!'
