Hello and welcome to the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast.  For this episode, we have a guest, Mike Malekoff.  Two years ago he purchased a Hunter 44 DS in Maine, had it shipped via a truck to Burlington VT, and for the last 2 years has been sailing on Lake Champlain.  This Fall he is taking down the mast and along with his wife will transit the Lake Champlain canal to the Hudson River.  Then it’s down the East Coast to Florida and then heading East to the Bahamas.  We had a great conversation about sailing, safety, boats, and all of the random stuff that two sailors can talk about.  I hope you enjoy the podcast.
