Hello listeners and welcome to the Sailing the East podcast.  I’m Bela Musits.  This episode will be a bit different than the usual conversation between my co-host Mike and I.  In this episode, I interview Carter Yepsen.  Carter wrote to us back in Episode 22 asking for some tips and suggestions as he was getting ready to do his first bareboat sailing charter with his wife.  Carter is the sailor and his wife is not, so he wanted to make sure they both had a good experience, as his goal is to make bareboat chartering a regular event. Carter sent us an email post charter saying that after getting over the sleep-deprived first two days, the charter went well with lots of snorkeling, beachcombing, and great times.  They are already planning their next charter.  I asked Carter if he would be a guest on the podcast and share with our listeners how the bareboat charter went and things he learned.  Let’s dive right into the interview with Carter.

I hope you all enjoyed the interview with Carter.  It was great to hear they had a successful charter.
