Sail Loot Podcast 064: Offshore Sailing with Captain Ryan and Sail Libra

By on April 12, 2019

Captain Ryan and I met a few years ago on a sailing trip on S/V Libra from Pensacola to the Miami Boat Show. It was an awesome trip. I learned a whole lot about offshore sailing and I hope that I helped Ryan book a few more trips on Libra at the Miami Boat show.

Ryan had done a Sail Loot Podcast with me a few weeks prior to our trip across the Gulf of Mexico. In typical Sail Loot form, you can learn all about how Captain Ryan got into sailing and out from behind a computer job at Delta. We also discuss his sailboats, businesses, and other sailing financials.

I was able to catch up with Ryan a few weeks ago in Christmas Cove in the US Virgin Islands. A lot has happened in those 2 years since our last sailing adventure. In this episode we talk more about where S/V Libra has been in the last few years, what you’ll learn on an offshore passage with Sail Libra, and some of the costs associated with running an offshore sailing business.
