Ep. 567: Learning to Soar - From Sailplane to Prop Plane to Hang Gliding - Revisited - Yvette Aguayo

This is the third time I’ve interviewed Jerome and the second in-person interview with him. He’s been on episode 644 and episodes 721 and 723 as a two part series. Jerome is one of the handful of people in the world that have done a non-stop, solo sail around the world. After 271 days and over 29,000 miles, the Westsail 32 “Mighty Sparrow” sailed into Gloucester Harbor with a lone Jerome aboard. Check out that epic story the first time I sat down with him.Most recently he was on sail to the southern Atlantic Ocean but Mother Nature had other plans. Listen in to find out just how close to Jerome was to never sailing again…All things Sailing Into Oblivion:https://www.sailingintooblivion.com/Jerome’s podcast: https://www.sailingintooblivion.com/podcastsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sailingintooblivion?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sailingintooblivion/?hl=enOur Sponsors:* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/ASP* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/aspSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

As a neophyte horsewoman with a minimal command of the Spanish language, Nancy rode off across Patagonia, alone, on horseback. Over the next decade and three thousand kilometers of rugged horse trail, Patagonia’s wild country and the hardy pioneers who settled there took her in and changed her. She published a book about the experience, Riding Into the Heart of Patagonia. When she is not in Patagonia, she lives in a cabin outside Palmer, Alaska, where she enjoys the luxuries of hauling water, chopping wood, and high-speed Internet.www.ridingintotheheartofpatagonia.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Riding-Into-the-Heart-of-Patagonia-1700774059962723/Order the book: Riding Into the Heart of PatagoniaOur Sponsors:* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/ASP* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/aspSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
