EP#250 Becoming a Yacht Surveyor with Adam

Today I have the pleasure of sitting down with fellow Westsail 32 owner James Hodge. James is a writer and comedian as well as a new Westsail owner.  He's in the same yard and working like a madman to get his boat ready for the ocean.  We have a blast chatting about everything from being on the water to being on stage.  Big thanks to James for coming on the show for a second time.
