Sail Loot Podcast 029: Pam Wall Part 2, More Amazing Sailing Stories

By on November 14, 2015

We left Part 1 of the Amazing Pam Wall Sailing Stories with the Wall family starting their circumnavigation on their 39 foot sloop, Kandarik. Pam and Andy had saved the glorious sum of $10,000 to use as their sailing money while they explored the world on Kandarik.

Pam and Andy had returned from their 3-year honeymoon. Pam had happily provided and raised the rest of the crew, Samantha and James, while working at Mack-Shaw Sailmakers. Andy had built Kandarik – with Pam’s help of course – and provided some loot with his rigging and sailboat delivery skills.

We catch up with them in Tahiti, where they make their first stop to top up their stash of sailing money. They had sailed through the Panama Canal, cruised to some of the South Pacific, and they were very happy to pause their sailing adventure to start making money again.
