Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the USA Bela Musits

On today’s podcast, we are welcoming back a familiar face to our regular listeners. Mike Malekoff. Mike was a guest back in episodes 66, 72 & 73.  When we first met Mike, the goal for him and his wife was to sail from Lake Champlain in Vermont to the Bahamas.  In each episode, we have followed their progress. Back in EP-66, Mike was in the “dreaming and planning” stages for the trip.  In EP-72,  Mike shared with us the casting off of the lines in Burlington VT, and heading South via the Champlain canal to the Hudson River.  In EP-73 Mike talked about the trip down the East coast to Beaufort, NC.  Our most recent discussion is broken into 2 episodes. During our conversation, Mike was in the cockpit of his boat at a marina in the Bahamas.  They had some challenges in this leg of the journey so make sure you listen to both EP-77 and EP-78.

This is the third time Joe Hagen has been on the podcast.  We always have a great conversation and I certainly learn a few things.  He is a long-time sailor and after retiring from corporate life several years ago, he started Offshore Adventure Sailing.  Joe’s first appearance on the podcast was on EP-11, then again on EP-46 and EP-47. In this episode, we discussed Joe’s adventures this past summer, including his trip up the Tom Tom waterway so he could have his boat close to his home in Nashville, TN.

Hello and welcome to the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast. This is part 2 of my interview with Mike Malekoff.  This is Mike’s second time on the podcast.  He was a guest in EP-66 where we discussed his plans for sailing from Lake Champlain to the Bahamas.  Well, the adventure has begun and in this episode, we continue our conversation with Mike on the trip so far. We talked about marinas, their first overnight passage, and buddy boating.  We had a long chat, so our conversation is in two parts.  I hope you enjoy my conversation with Mike and make sure you listen to EP-72 which is part one of our conversation.
