Show Notes

Brett and Tess were in the Solomon Islands when I spoke to them. They sail a Corbin 39, surf, spearfish, explore, and interact with the local cultures.

We talk all about the Solomon Islands, their boat, colliding with a floating tree and dealing with a damaged skeg and a pernicious leak, hauling out and and fixing the skeg, living on a boat vs living in a house, crocodiles, crocodile safety, ciguatera, dealing with passports and visas, Papua New Guinea, surfing, the people and the culture of the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea, sharks, spearfishing, stern-tying to shore, anchoring in deep water, squalls at anchor, dragging, anchor alarms, watermakers, what we love about sailing, making friends, and much more.
