15. Miner, Antarctic Driller, and Old Shipmate- Ethan Welshon

Nautical Knowledge and Nonsense

This interview shows the positive effects old shipmates can unknowingly have in each other's lives. In this interview Ethan learns that he was directly responsible for the place and manner in which I proposed to my now wife. And I learn that his time on tallships with me directly influenced his decision and ability to work and live in Antarctica. This interview is loaded with detailed talk and descriptions of boat handling for docking, funny crew stories, as well as my favorite puke story, my worst accident as captain (which luckily wasn't that bad and turned out to be the best thing ever in the long run), storms and rouge waves, Japanese Tsunami wreckage on the US West Coast and much much more!!
