#79 Who’s the Biggest Tool Afloat? Mark Thompson joins Rory to discuss Celebrity Sailors and YouTube Calamities

Two old shipmates catch up live from the Balearics and veer through a weekend of salty anecdotes: hand-steering without autopilot, dodgy electrical gremlins that knocked out the fridge and ice, and the joy (and chaos) of anchoring in crowded Menorcan coves. They compare marina prices, describe a tricky stern-tie to rocks, and laugh about improvised golf practice on a bouncy castle. Amid the banter are wry observations on seamanship, other yachtspeople pushing anchoring boundaries, and the sad sight of plastic litter spoiling a spectacular anchorage.
