14. Best Retirement Ever!- Mark Galipeau
Sunday Jan 23, 2022
Sunday Jan 23, 2022
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.
