Master and Commander

The American Mariner owes a great debt to the English maritime industry and the royal navy. To begin understanding the influence I would suggest reading the Patrick O’Brian books. In this podcast, Scott discovers how a series of very well written books influenced his outlook on sailing and places. Tradition, sailing practices, and the detailed immersion during the age of sail translates into better sailing practices and a more nuanced view of life at sea today.
