In this episode of the podcast, Bela Musits interviews Simon and Sawyer, a father and son team who have just completed the final leg of their first Atlantic crossing.  In this leg, we discuss sailing from Spain to the UK with a stop in France.  They experienced weather delays, massive tides, traffic separation zones, and crossed the notorious Bay of Biscay.  As Simon said, “This was the most difficult part of our trip.”
