The Aquatic Life

Taryn and Logan have given up traditional living and are working on realizing their dreams of sailing around the world from their home base in Canada. They have been documenting their trials, tribulations and triumphs on their fantastic YouTube channel, called "The Wayward Life".
In this episode, we talk to them from their newest boat, Papa Rumba about what it has taken to get to this point in their sailing adventure, their plans for the future and so much more. Of course talk about diving and photography along the way, and even get to meet their doggie crew member, Max.
So, put on your captains hat, practice tying some knots while you listen to 2 of the nicest folks you've ever met explain how adventurous life is like out on the high seas!

Like many of us divers, Francesca Trotman grew up with a love of sharks. Unlike most of us, she parlayed her passion into a marine biology degree from Southampton University and then established a non-profit in Mozambique, called “Love The Oceans” with the goal of establishing a marine protected area in the province where she resides.
However, when you listen to the podcast episode, you will hear there are so many other amazing programs that she is also running that benefits the local community and the environment.
Francesca is also a fellow underwater photographer, so we also spend time talking about her photography journey, and ask her for tips on where to dive in Africa.
We recommend using the Overcast podcast player so you can see Francesca's photos as they are discussed. Otherwise, see her pictures in our show notes.
