Ben Shaw returns to the podcast, this time in-person and onboard DOVKA, his family's Hallberg Rassy. Ben is the host of the Out the Gate sailing podcast and a former crew of 59º North. Ben and his wife Lauren sailed with us on ICEBEAR in 2019 to prepare for their own cruising adventures, and we met up quite spontaneously in Hiva Oa, after both crossing the Pacific to the Marquesas. We talked about Ben and his family's cruising plans - they've been living aboard now for two years with their young kids - ocean sailing, podcasting and much more.
