9. A Gale of a Tale: Old Shipmate- Steve (Mongo) Kasper

Steve was at my side in the worst seas I have ever been in!  We talk about this and what was one of the wildest times I ever had on tallships.  It wasn't just the seas, but also the colorful cast of characters on the ship!  There are many funny stories, nerve-wracking moments, exploding inter-personal drama, and numerous sailor and seamanship lessons learned (often in the sense of "Don't do this!") which helped me when I later became a captain.  Despite everything, both Steve and I agree, we would do it all again in a heartbeat!

 

Intro/Ending Music: Many thanks to Riggy Rackin for allowing the use of music from his Nauticas album. The intro and ending themes are the sailor song "A Roving", specifically track 1.  Learn more or order his music at www.riggy.com
