Manage episode 315818180 series 3289426
John Gandy had a military and civilian maritime career, and now (when not sailing) spends his time restoring old vessels and keeping history alive. In this interview John discusses in detail, little-known vessel handling techniques as well as interesting, little-known navigational aid knowledge. Our conversation also delves into his career, history, sailors' superstition, torpedoes, cruise missiles, our vessel (the AJ Meerwald) and other topics.
