  • Boat Radio – Ocean Research Project – When is it okay to call for rescue?

    This week, Matt Rutherford looks back at the abandonment of the Gunboat 55 catamaran, Rainmaker, which was dismasted 200 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras while en route to the Caribbean island of St. Maarten. He also talks about how he and girlfriend Nicole found an abandoned Swan 48 mid-Atlantic and attempted to tow it back to land.

    Also this week, the continuing adventures of Matt, Bruno and Yanni in Africa. This time around, Yanni is sent to the hospital to have the parasitic worm cut out of his foot before continuing his epic bicycle ride from Berlin to Cape Town. Matt kicks Bruno ashore, checks out the German women shopping for lovers on the beaches of Gambia, risks drinking gallons of local tap water then fills the boat with noodles and crosses the Atlantic. On the way, he supplements his diet by catching Mahi Mahi and drying thin fillets rubbed in cayenne pepper all around his boat.

    Dogs can be a fun companion but should you take a dog cruising? Are dogs suited to the liveaboard lifestyle?

In this latest edition of The Boat Galley podcast, she examines the pros and cons of doggy cruising and suggests some gear you might need to buy if you’re planning to take a four-legged friend on your sailing adventure.

  • Boat Radio – Deliver a baby at sea!

    Last year, Boat Radio’s medical expert, Dr John Ross, made a programme explaining what to do if you’re faced with the prospect of delivering a baby on board a boat.

    We’ve had a number of requests to repost that show so here it is. It makes absolutely fascinating listening.
    Dr Ross has three decades of experience delivering medical care to people in extreme circumstances and remote locations. He is the medical director of Telemed+, which provides care to participants of the Clipper Round the World Race. He is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. When not dealing with emergencies and delivering babies, he enjoys classic car rallying with his son.

  • Boat Radio - Bob Bitchin on murder, motorcycles and many years of cruising

    By popular demand, this is a repost of a show first broadcast back in July.

    In this sensational interview, Bob Bitchin contemplates murder, considers suicide, talks about growing up with Clark Gable, Roy Rogers and the Cisco Kid, describes life as a motorcycle gang member, recalls his time as Evel Knievel’s bodyguard and reminisces about his many years cruising the world aboard sailboats.
    “When you’re out there, life is like a dream.”
    After his sailing magazine Latitudes and Attitudes died an inglorious death, Bob launched Cruising Outpost and it quickly became the number one selling marine leisure lifestyle publication in the United States. He remains at the helm, aged seventy-three. He has written thousands of articles, published several books, owned numerous magazines, presented dozens of television shows and is poised to launch a new venture – a music radio station for the cruising and boating community worldwide.
    Get yourself a drink, switch off your phone, close your eyes and just listen. This is jaw-dropping, eye-popping stuff.

  • Boat Radio – Ocean Research Project – GUNS

    Should you have a gun on your boat? Some sailors think it’s vital, others think it’s a crazy idea. The Greenlandic Government insist on it and Canadian law requires that all vessels navigating the Northwest Passage have a rifle on board.

    In this week’s edition of Ocean Research Project, Matt Rutherford discusses the pros and cons of travelling with firearms.
    Also this week, Matt’s African adventure with Yanni and Bruno continues. The trio head deeper into the heart of the continent, chugging inland via the Bintang Creek, encountering extraordinary poverty and hardship as they go. Matt performs rudimentary surgery to remove a parasitic worm from Bruno’s foot and later, as guest of honour at a village festival, is required to slaughter and skin a goat.
    Next week – Matt’s second single-handed Atlantic crossing.
