This is what we've been working for for the years that we were building the boat and the children and saving money.

So Brave never came into it.

It was, let's get going.

Let's do this.

Let's experience this.

Let's have our kids have, you know, a life on a boat, you know, with us and see the world.

And we don't want them to go up just knowing what's across the street or at the mall.

You know, I mean, you know, the World with Pam Wall, part one.

This is the Adventure Sports Podcast, brought to you by 180 Tack.

Get out there and have some fun.

Welcome back to the Adventure Sports podcast. This is Travis. Pam Wall began a life filled with sailing as a young girl who was raised in a sailing family on Lake Michigan. It didn't take long for her to realize that a move to Florida would allow her to enjoy her passion year-round. Meaning her husband, Andy, in Fort Lauderdale, who also shared her passion for the water, led her on a wonderful life journey aboard a boat.

In fact, these two adventurers raised their two children aboard their self-built 39-foot sloop, the Kandaric, while circumnavigating the world. Pam, welcome to the show.

Thank you, Travis. It's a pleasure to be here. It's absolutely great to have you. So I have a ton of questions for you.

You have done one of the coolest things ever, and that is live aboard a sailboat, raise

a family on the sailboat, and circumnavigated the world.

But I don't want to get too far ahead of us with all of that.

Can you tell our listeners a little bit about yourself and how it is you got

started in sailing? Yeah, sure. The lucky thing I had was that I had a father who was a sailor.

And, of course, that was no planning on my part. I was just very fortunate. I grew up in Chicago,

and my father always had a sailboat.

And as I grew older into my early teens, he became a very adept racing enthusiast. And every weekend of every summer, we always were out on his boat racing in some race on Lake Michigan.

And during those wonderful summers before I went away to college, I always went with my dad every weekend on the boat.
