Hello listeners and welcome to the Sailing the East podcast.  I’m Bela Musits.  This is our podcast about sailing and cruising the east coast of the United States.  In this episode, I am interviewing Simon and Sawyer Balint.  They are a father and son team that spent last summer cruising the coast of Maine.  Sailing is relatively new to them and this was their first extended cruise.  They visited many interesting locations in Maine and had other members of their family join them as well. They also share how they decided to jump headfirst into blue water sailing, how they selected a Passport 40 as their boat of choice, and how COVID turned their sail across the Atlantic plans into cruising the coast of Maine.

We love to hear from our listeners, send us your questions, comments, and suggestions at [email protected].  If you would like to support the podcast, click on the sponsorship link below.

Wishing you fair winds, and calm seas.

Bela and Mike
