Hello and welcome to the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast. This is part 1 of my interview with Mike Malekoff.  This is Mike’s second time on the podcast.  He was a guest in EP-66 where we discussed his plans for sailing from Lake Champlain to the Bahamas.  Well, the adventure has begun and in this episode, we get an update from Mike on the trip so far. We had a long chat, so our conversation is in two parts. We talked about marinas, their first overnight passage, the boating community, and buddy boating.  I hope you enjoy my conversation with Mike and make sure you listen to EP-73 which is part two of our conversation.

Bela and Mike
