When is ‘doing it yourself’ the best option? Carolyn Shearlock and husband Dave are a pretty handy pair, wielding everything from paintbrushes to a monkey wrench. But that doesn’t mean they’re expert boat mechanics and it certainly doesn’t mean they’re as quick as the pros when it comes to fixing a problem. Added to that, there are some jobs that even the most gifted amateur should leave to the experts. However, often the good professionals have a busy schedule and just as frequently they come with a hefty price tag. So how do you decide when it’s best to DIY?

Hear how Regina, Alan and their three children survived the most terrifying night of their lives in the grip of a tropical storm.  “I wasn’t sure whether I was going to actually get to save everybody”. Dashed repeatedly against a reef and then slammed down onto a sandy beach. “We had Anna, who was two, and going into the water in those conditions, even in a life jacket, her chances of survival were small” This is horrifying and compelling in equal measure.  “From the time we hit the reef to the time I saw the beach, I knew there was a really good chance I was going to lose my wife and my youngest” Neither Regina nor Alan were novice sailors. This could happen to anyone. This is part 1 of an interview that was first broadcast in September 2016.

John Herlig

Today we revisit the first episode in John Herlig’s wonderful series, Postcards From Sea. For those of you not familiar with the story: Three years ago, in a boatyard in Reedville, Virginia, John stumbled across a tatty old sailboat called Ave del Mar. On the surface, she was in pretty poor shape but her bones were good and John saw great potential. Slowly, painstakingly, John brought Ave back to life and now they have embarked on a voyage around the world. This is a story about second chances and about how an unexpected discovery led to a new lease of life for both a 1967 Rawson 30' cutter and her former restaurateur owner. John’s quick wit and infectious humour made him a favourite among Boat Radio listeners when he was featured in The Life Aquatic. Now he’s back with his own series, introducing the people he meets and the places he visits as he and Ave explore the world together. John and Boat Radio are currently working together on a very exciting new project, to be announced later this year.

Boat Radio

How Matt Rutherford – record-breaking sailor and executive director of Ocean Research Project – learned to sail the hard way.  After buying his first boat over the internet, unseen, he runs aground in the Chesapeake Bay within minutes of setting sail.  Later that same day, he drags his anchor and comes within a few yards of being dashed on a rocky shoreline.  On the return trip, along the Intra-Coastal Waterway, the boat is struck by lightning, knocking both Matt and his girlfriend to the deck.In many ways, this might be regarded as a cautionary tale; an example of what-not-to-do with a sailboat.  But not long after the events recalled in this podcast, Matt Rutherford became the first person ever to circumnavigate the Americas, non-stop, single-handed – a journey of 27,000 miles, which took him 309 days.  Matt’s story is a remarkable one.  Hear more of it at www.boatradio.net
