Hey, welcome to 59 degrees north with Andy Schell. Enjoy the show.

Greetings, greetings, welcome back to the 59 degrees north sailing podcast. Andy Schell here.

Quick thanks to our returning sponsor, Weems and Plath. This is the several episodes they've sponsored, so a huge thank you to those guys.

Weems and Plath have been making traditional navigation instruments and plotting tools and that sort of stuff for over 85 years.

They are really into real sailing and offshore voyages. I'm actually recording this from Bermuda.

Having sailed here on the Newport Bermuda race, I'm about to depart this afternoon for the trip back to Newport on J-37.

We've got lots of Weems and Plath stuff on board, plotting tools. We've got M-R-A charts that they sell as well. They're distributed for that. So I don't go on a boat without Weems and Plath stuff. So check it out. Use the promo code, 5-9 North. That's 59-N-O-R-T-H on the Weems-Dash-Path website to get a nice discount. So thanks again for them for sponsoring the podcast. There's a quick intro. This is a rerun. I didn't have time to record a new one here, but I wanted to get one up this week. This is Andreas Hanakamp, the Volvo Ocean Race Skipper, who was aboard Team Russia back in 0-8, I think, or 0506, not sure.

I recorded this in St. Lucia during the Ark a few years ago, and the intro from this

remains with myself and my friend Ryan Briggs.

This was on the Two Inspired Guys podcast.

So I'll leave it at that.

You'll hear about the rest of the intro with Ryan and I, and then it'll go into the episode.

So thanks again for listening. Don't forget, find me at 59 North sailing on Twitter, Andy Schell,

or 59 North on Facebook, and of course on the website, 59-north.com. There's lots more coming when I get to Sweden in a week or so after I do this trip.

Thanks again for listening, and enjoy this rerun of

Andreas Hanakamp, episode number 32. So what did you think? I've been doing, I'm down in St. Lucia

for the Ark and I've been doing a bunch of interviews on my own because we don't have very good

Skype, which is why I just ran downstairs to get the computer plug. But anyway, I sent you two

so far. And I think the next one going up is going to be Andreas Hanakamp,

who was the skipper of Team Russia in the 2008 Volvo Ocean Race,

and was in the Olympics in Athens in 96.

And again, I think in 2004, but I'm not sure about the year.
