Hello and welcome to the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast.  This is part 1 of a two-part interview with Heath Moldveen, whose boat sank this past summer during tropical storm Ida.

Heath Moldveen, is a technical sales rep for Sea Hawk Premium Yacht Finishes and was also a guest in Episodes 43 and 44 where we discussed anti-fouling paints. In this episode, Heath and I discuss his adventure this past summer when his boat sank at the dock during tropical storm Ida.

He received the dreaded phone call from the marina early in the morning.  The voice on the other end said, “your boat has sunk”.  Heath and I discuss what happens next, including getting a salvage company to refloat the boat and dealing with the insurance company,

Lots of good tips and lessons learned in this episode and in part 2.  Make sure and listen to both episodes.
