20. Semi-Sober Interview with Old Shipmate- Preston

Nautical Knowledge and Nonsense

Mar 7 2022 • 1 hr 53 mins

Preston is one of my closest and funniest old shipmates and in this interview we go deep.  Here is some of what is semi-soberly discussed: wooden boats having more of a spirit than boats made from other materials, the time I was hitchhiking in Japan and briefly became part of a Shinto Priest group, lots of boat maintenance lessons (pro-tip... the only thing worse than painting yourself into a corner is painting yourself into the headrig!), and how Preston used nautical knowledge to keep himself safe when going through the worst part of Oakland at 3:00 in the morning.

Also, here is a link to Preston's Disneyland Train Simulator Video Game he made which we mention in the episode...
