Webb Chiles RECYCLED // Sailing Legend
#193. Greetings from Bermuda, where we recently made landfall on Isbjorn! This week’s recycled episode features Webb Chiles, certainly one of the most adventurous small boat sailors in recent memory, if not one of the greatest. He’s been around the world several times, cross the Pacific in an open boat, nearly drowned when he fell overboard off Florida and on and on. He’s written several books about his adventures over the years, and indeed continues to make new adventures. I spoke to him a few years back about his exploits, why he pursues them, how he handles fear, what motivates him towards his sailing goals and more. -- On the Wind is sponsored by Weems & Plath. -- Come ocean sailing on Andy & Mia's Swan 48 Isbjorn at 59-north.com/offshore.
