The Sailing Podcast with Dave Anderson

I have listeners who have told me about Dave Anderson the producer of "The Sailing Podcast" they then go on to tell me how much they enjoy listening to his podcasts. So I started listening to his podcast as well. I find them informative and good entertainment for those long walks I like to take. Even though Dave's podcast did not specialize in sailing in the Mediterranean I decided to reached out to Dave and he honored me by letting me interview him.
