In episode 21 we speak with Nick Dana, a professional sailor who has competed multiple years in the most legendary of world-class races -- the Volvo Ocean Challenge. Nick shares his stories of competing in this round-the-world, multi-month event and pushing his physical and mental limits in the harshest ocean conditions on earth, including Cape Horn. We hear how Nick grew up in the ocean of New England and quickly carved out a place for himself within the ranks of the best sailors in the world to build an incredible sailing career. If you want to hear what it's like to sail in a storm in the Southern Ocean at night you will want to listen...
Thanks for sharing Nick's ocean life with us. You can find pictures and video of Nick on his Instagram page and always see some fun stuff on the This Ocean Life Instagram and Facebook pages. We are also on Twitter ranting about anything cool happening in the ocean.
