Special Podcast Post & Other updates

Hi Virtual Voyagers!

Yes, this post is not one of our usual posts. But we thought many of you would enjoy hearing from Randall for a change. The night before Randall set sail he made time to chat with one of our friends/advisors Matt Rutherford. Matt holds the honor of being the first person to non-stop through the North West Passage and sharing his epic single handing experience has been such a gift Randall in his preparations.

In the following interview you can hear Matt and Randall chat about his upcoming voyage. They talk at length about the perils of the southern ocean and the challenges of the ice of the northwest passage. Randall answered a TON of Matt’s questions which many of you have asked over the last couple of months. This episode might be the ticket.

Thanks to all our supporters. Because of you we’re also in talks with a couple of other podcasters about interviewing Randall while he’s at sea. Should be interesting.

As a treat – we thought we’d share what Randall is doing when he’s home. Looking out in the garden at the birds. Yep – pretty much the same. Although a little other surprise, Randall is a magician in the kitchen and his special dish is a chocolate souffle. Yes, I’m pretty spoiled when he’s home.

Until next time , Joanna
