O que este vídeo aborda

Bob and Jody Bitchin — founders of *Latitudes & Attitudes* magazine and the *Bitchin' Attitude* newsletter — join Andy Schell aboard Nordic Falcon, anchored in Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas after a 17-day passage from the Galapagos, for a long-form interview covering their transition from biker culture to offshore sailing.0:26 Bob estimates a lifetime sailing total of 80,000 to 100,000 miles, including multiple Hawaii crossings and a circumnavigation with Jody.51:45 Their relationship began at a marina bar called the Portofino, where Jody was bartending and Bob kept his boat at the dock below; two years after meeting, they sailed to Tahiti together.34:56 The conversation covers Bob's early life in the 1950s, a near-death experience at a biker event in Grants Pass, Oregon when his joint was laced with PCP, and a heavy-weather fuel transfer in rough seas where Jody went below to pour diesel into the tanks while the boat rolled.54:49 Jody describes learning to sail by observation rather than instruction.1:03:24 Bob recounts a route decision made in Tonga — north to Hawaii, then back to the U.S. — and discusses his editorial philosophy of leading with inspiration rather than a table of contents.57:11 The 59 North 2027 Atlantic passage calendar on Falcon is mentioned as newly released.
