Andy Lamont part 1: planning a solo circumnavigation

We talk with Andy Lamont (in part 1 of a 2 part episode) who is setting off from the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia to sail his S&S 34 non-stop, singled-handed around the world. Its a fascinating story about his lifelong passion to sail around the world. Andy provides a step by step insight into his preparation, refit, provisioning plans and philosophy about life in general. This candid 2-hour, 2-part podcast is a great example of how easy it can be to buy a simple yacht, do some basic preparations and set off sailing around the world.  We will follow Andy's story in his lead up to departure from Southport on Australia's Gold Coast later this year and check in regularly to capture and track his 300+ day sailing voyage around the planet.
