Show Notes
Tapio recently sailed in the 2022 Golden Globe Race, as he did in 2018. He was doing well in the race until his boat sank in the Southern Ocean after rounding the Cape of Good Hope. We talk about preparing for the race, windvanes, sail configurations, wildlife encounters, the sinking of his boat, the rescue, and his journey on the cargo ship Darya Gayatri.
