Description
Light hearted & filled with personal anecdotes and amusing tangents, the Mariner Podcast shares the wealth of knowledge & experience accumulated by a sailor who has covered more miles on the world‘s oceans, than the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
Each episode, solo circumnavigator Chris Stanmore-Major, talks about all things sailing from how to flake a line and prepare a meal on a family cruising voyage to how to race through the Southern Ocean on an Open 60.
