    Ahoy there, matey! I’m always a sucker for pirates as in a previous life I was a bar wench by day and a successful female pirate by night! Loved the podcast. “Two Years Before the Mast” sounds like a book that needs to be added to my “to be read” list. You have peaked my interest. Loved the music at the end of the podcast. Great piece. Keep up the good work. You’ll get someone from Wyoming eventually.
