14. Best Retirement Ever!- Mark Galipeau
Manage episode 318339855 series 3289426
Retired elementary teacher turned sailor, Mark was mentioned in last week's episode (#12) as the fellow who got me into contra dancing. My former landlord turned sailor after hanging out with my old shipmates on my bachelor party, he has had a wild and wide-ranging retirement. From sailing on viking ships and a pinnace to adventures on enormous European tallships, he shows no signs of slowing down and going gracefully into swallowing the anchor!
BTW: In this episode you will get to hear me get completely flustered over my inability to remember what the acronym STCW actually stands for. To spare you my pain it is... Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping... I have already forgiven myself. :)
Bonus: Below is a picture of the tattoos Mark was mentioning getting in the interview.
Intro/Ending Music: Many thanks to Riggy Rackin for allowing the use of music from his Nauticas album. The intro and ending themes are the sailor song "A Roving", specifically track 1. Learn more or order his music at www.riggy.com
My Children's Books: "The Greatest Captain in the World" and "The Greatest Captain in the World Too" are available on Amazon or directly from me at... www.greatestcaptain.com
