Nate Marr from Marauder Sailing Charters is back on the show with us today to fill us in on the horrifying experience of living through hurricane Maria and what it did to his home island of Vieques. Nate shares how locals and outsiders alike have come together to rebuild their tropical community and how you can get involved yourself. Make sure you take some time to listen to this one. It's so easy to jump back into our everyday hectic lives and forget that these communities are still, to this day, fighting to get back on their feet and return normalcy to their lives. www.viequesready.org www.maraudersailingcharters.com   Our Sponsors: * Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/ASP * Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/asp Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Holiday Flashback - Brian Brown, along with his wife and one of his daughters, flew out of northern California in their personal plane, a Cessna 172, with plans to visit their oldest daughter in Mountain Home, ID. The trip was going well until weather started filling in the skies directly in their path. After diverting to an abandoned airfield to wait out the storm for a while, they saw what they thought was their chance to continue on. It didn't take long before their plans were drastically changed. The plane was engulfed in low-level clouds making it impossible for safe visual flight. In attempt to find a solution, the plane with the three family members aboard, slammed into the side of a mountain in Idaho. The book is: "Rescued: One Family's Miraculous Story of Survival" Get the Book Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100006524740930&fref=ts Our Sponsors: * Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/ASP * Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/asp Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
