26| Voyage For Madmen

Tragedy with a View

** THIS EPISODE DOES DISCUSS SUICIDE BRIEFLY. If you are having any thoughts or feelings that lead you down the path of contemplating taking your own life, please contact 988 the suicide and crisis hotline. Help is always available!**
In 1968 nine men would set sail all striving to reach the same goal: be the first to sail around the world non-stop, alone, and without assistance.
Tune in to learn of their success and demise and how the tradition continues today.
The outdoors are a beautiful that can be filled with light and bliss and many different ways to bring yourself closer to those you love and yourself. But they can also be filled with terror and death, imminent and oppressive. Join me as we dig into these stories that inspire you to be just a little bit more careful while you’re in the outdoors. Please rate and subscribe from whatever listening platform you use.
