This is Episode #56, and we’re casting off with Chris Otorowski, who’s interviewed by fellow sailor and host Moe Roddy to chat about his adventures around the world by sea. Chris is the 2022 commodore of the Cruising Club of America (CCA). He’s a seasoned offshore racer and cruiser with thousands and thousands of miles under his belt.
