We are back! After a brief hiatus, Erin is thrilled to be talking to the super generous and generally delightful Marann Fengler. Currently working with the Battleship Iowa www.pacificbattleship.com , Marann first started her tall ship adventures aboard Los Angeles Maritime Institute's twin brigantines, Irving Johnson and Exy Johnson (for more about the ships and their legacy, be sure to listen to Nancy Richardson's episode in season one)
Marann and Erin talk about missing the smell of pine tar, beating USCG Barque Eagle at a race start and how some boats are more bite-y than others. Be warned, there is giggling. So much giggling.
Tall Ships mentioned: Bill of Rights, USCG Barque EAGLE, Exy Johnson, Irving Johnson, Kaisei, Lady Washington, Lynx, Pride of Baltimore II, Roseway, Swift of Ipswich, Virginia.
