#130. is John Kretschmer, one of my all-time heroes and a mentor of mine. John's motto is 'never lost, just hard to find,' and it's a pretty good summation of how it was tracking him down for the podcast. I finally got in touch with him over Skype, me in Annapolis and he at home in Ft Lauderdale getting ready for another passage on his boat Quetzal.

John and I talked a bit about how he's inspired me to follow this career, how he got into it in the first place, about rounding Cape Horn in a 32' boat going to wrong way, his career as a delivery skipper, Hurricane Lenny and much, much more. Find John, online at least, at yayablues.com.
