Between Two Sheets

Today we’re talking with Peter from the YouTube channel Sailing Into Freedom.
He’s a lifelong sailor and spear fisherman, having owned and cruised his Crowther catamaran ‘Long Reef’ for 10 years before tragically loosing it off the remote Kimberly islands in western Australia. He didn’t let that stop him though, and now he’s enjoying his time in the Caribbean aboard ‘Freedom’ a 42’ Lehete Bourgois monohull.

I’ve known Plukky for years, as we had very similar catamarans and vlogs, but never got the chance to meet him face to face until the winter of 2020 when I sailed to Panama specifically for the spearfishing and, hopefully, to run into him. We figured we would either get along marvelously or hate each other and, well, I think I’ll let you be the judge. :)

We sit down with Colin from the YouTube channel 'Parlay Revival' and get a unique view of his entire story, from start to finish. This is a very interesting podcast you won't want to miss.

Sailing a sister ship, Sailing Yacht Talisman have been all around the world in the last 6 years aboard another Oyster 485 (same boat as Zingaro!). Hear some of the amazing sea stories these two have to share about the Med, sailing into storms, favorite places, and ALL KINDS of other interesting tidbits on sailing in this week's episode of Between Two Sheets.

One of the most prolific sailors on the planet, John Kretschmer sits down to set the record straight on Man Over Board procedures, ship safety, books, boats, and life goals in this special edition of Between Two Sheets.

If you've ever dreamed of cutting the lines and running away on a sailboat Captain Ryan is the man to talk to. For a small fee, you can experience what REAL cruising is like aboard Libra, his 60' center cockpit ketch. In relative safety you can experience what offshore passage making is REALLY like, and for a FRACTION of the price of buying your own yacht and fitting it out for offshore.
We sit him down to get his entire story, get a SUPER LESSON in centerboard boats, and see what makes him tick.
