Another week, and another jam packed show with Adventures of a Sailor Girl herself, Nic Douglass.

Nic also caught up with her roving reporter, Nina Curtis, Olympic silver medallist on that has been happening for her, both the ups and downs!

Matt Chew called in live, to recap the Melbourne to Vanuatu race he did on the Reichel Pugh 66, Alive. The interview also covered Matt’s record-breaking win in the Etchells midwinters. It wouldn’t be a best of show without replaying the Sailor Girl’s interview with Iain Murray – a great opportunity to hear about what is ahead for Team Australia. Last but not least, Nic wrapped up her week of adventures… on and off the water!

What a massive show! Amazing to catch up with Howie Hamlin on his 5o5 North Americans win, and all that is ahead for him. Also touched base with Jason Waterhouse straight from Austria at the GC32’s – too awesome! Last but definitely not least, Stacey Jackson called in from the Canary Islands to touch base about all that is happening for Team SCA leading up to the Volvo Ocean Race. I also had a very serious story about M&M’s to share from my adventures!
