Episode 51: The 1979 Fastnet Race

About this episode

In the final episode of this "season", we revisit disaster on the open ocean.  Inclement weather, over three hundred yachts, the history of boats, and just so many reasons to never set foot in the ocean.    Peter's song pick:: Dreams by The Cranberries https://open.spotify.com/track/4JGKZS7h4Qa16gOU3oNETV?si=23984130963e4d2d Leigh's song pick:: Chaos by Stump https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNZXoEvikd0&ab_channel=frenchaccent     If you like what you hear, please subscribe and leave a review!
