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

And welcome back to 59 degrees north sailing podcast. I'm coming to you live from Tortola

at the finish of the Caribbean 1500. Well, not really live, but live as I'm speaking this.

Anyway, this episode is with the folks from a boat called Dancing Lizard, Andre and Marie Claude, French Canadians, who bought Amoud and took off with the Caribbean 1500 last year.

It's a year old. I did this last year at the start of the 1500. In fact, it might be two years old, actually.

But I've saved this interview for a while now, and it's appropriate since I'm at the 1500 now. I'm going to do a few other interviews with some rally sailors this week as well. So this is a good one. It gives you kind of their background on why they're taking off on their boat, how they came about getting the moody, and what they were hoping their experience was going to be like in the 1500. We recorded this at the start of the event in Hampton,

Virginia, which is where it used to be. We're in Port Smith, Virginia now.

But, yeah, really cool people, really friendly, friendly folks. They actually had me aboard for

breakfast and coffee, so you can see here's some stuff in the background that are making

food and talking about that. So, anyway, enjoy. Again, you can find me on Twitter at 59 North, sorry, at 59 North sailing or on the

Facebook or anywhere else.

And of course, you can find the Caribbean 1500 at worldcruising.com slash carib 1500.

Thanks for listening. I'm envious of you guys living on the boat here. I was actually thinking about bringing

my dad's boat down just to stay in so I didn't have to live in a hotel.

It is quite comfy. I really like cooking my own food and stuff.

Okay.

At the hotel you're stuck at the...

Yeah, the restaurant.

It's not bad, but...

Well, there's nothing like a good home cook meal.

No, exactly.

I know that.
