Description

This week's host, John Arndt, is joined by one of the great legends of the sailing world, Commodore Tompkins. The 93-year-old Commodore has sailed over 600,000 miles and has essentially been sailing since birth. In this Part 1 - recorded in-person on Commodore's custom Wylie 39, Flashgirl - you'll hear the health scares on his recent 48-day passage, the lifetime of sailing inspiration he credits to his father, his unbelievable memories from sailing around Cape Horn at age 4, how they became the 1st sailing vessel to cross under the Golden Gate Bridge, and how he started professionally working on boats.
