Sponsored by Furuno. When Alan Carter isn’t directing television programs (like NBC’s The Voice and the Country Music Awards), he’s on his Aquila 54 power cat, the Wandering Hillbilly. Recently, after a transient mooring line gave way and left his previous Wandering Hillbilly (also an Aquila 54) on the rocks in the Caribbean. Heartbroken but not deterred, he commissioned another—after quite the insurance runaround—and this time, despite being a fully capable captain, had the humility and peace of mind to hire a captain and crew. Since then, he hasn’t looked back, and neither has his (expectably) well shot and edited eponymous YouTube vlog. We caught up with him between jobs (and the currently BVI-based power cat) at home in Nebraska. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
