Interview with Teresa & Ben on WUSB
Last spring Ben and I were in the WUSB (SUNY Stony Brook) radio station to discuss our upcoming summer sailing and filmmaking plans. Then, in October Habanero invited us back for a follow up interview on her show “Whatever Floats Your Boat” radio show. We talked about our film project, One Simple Question, and the trials, hardships, successes, and triumphs of our northward journey to see an iceberg this past the summer. It was a great follow up, and a pleasure to be on Habanero’s show again.

Sailing, Simplicity, and the Pursuit of Happiness, began in 2008 when Teresa gave up a whole lot of stability for the unstable plan to chase her dreams by living aboard a boat and taking on odd jobs to support her lifestyle, and selling handcrafted items through her online
Teresa, YOU inspire ME!
I am way-the-hell the other side of the “Don’t Trust” Zone they told me about in the Sixties. I’ve got a modest boat myself, a Bristol 29.9, which I am going to use as a “test bed” to see if I have what it takes to live on a boat as “my only home.”
Spotted your story in the February 2012 Cruising World … and I wish I’d read it before I published “Solo Sailing – And I Mean Sailing” on my own blog. I was so utterly “taken” by your story of your “convoy sail-about” with Ben! Pardon me for gushing …
“Beyond The Sunset,” my blog, is currently more about men’s rights than about sailing. I’m using single-handed sailing as a metaphor for “Men Going Their Own Way,” or MGTOW – something similar to the “Herbivore” movement that’s getting so much attention in Japan. Your site is the first SAILING blog I’ve added to my Blogroll.
Thanks for sharing your story! I admire you, you and Ben are now among my Heroes!
