ISBJØRN to the Arctic

This week, August is joined by Jon Amtrup, who is going to skipper Isbjørn along with him to the Arctic this summer! They discuss the route, the destinations, and challenges. Jon is a great guy, a very accomplished sailor, and if you don’t already know him, we recommend listening to Episode 195 of the “on the Wind” podcast, where Andy Interviewed Jon about his life and sailing career back in 2017. Jon also has a sailing podcast called “Explore North”, that we highly recommend. In fact, the following conversation was a collaboration between Explore North and this podcast, so you could head over there afterwards and listen to us all over again! As well as many other great interviews.
