Summary
#177: RECYCLED (previously #4). Lin & Larry Pardey need no introduction. They're cruising legends, inspiring generations of sailors to 'go small, go simple, and go now.' I first discovered them through books I found in my parent's basement - indeed it was the Pardey's that primarly inspired my mom and dad to first set off on their 32' sloop for a winter in the Bahamas in 1979. Mia and I read their books in detail when preparing Arcturus for the Atlantic crossing we made in 2011. What follows is a 'recycled' chat about their cruising careers that I had with Lin & Larry back in 2013, when the podcast first started.
On the Wind is presented by Weems & Plath.
Come offshore sailing with Andy & Mia aboard Isbjorn, their Swan 48, at 59-north.com/offshore.
