In this podcast episode, Bela Musits engages in a conversation with Simon and Sawyer Balint, delving into their adventure of returning their sailboat, a Passport 40, to the United States after their inaugural Atlantic crossing. Prior to their journey, this aspect had not been given much thought, as planning the crossing monopolized their attention. Various options were contemplated by this father and son team, including sailing the boat back themselves, employing a captain and crew for the return voyage, leaving the boat in the UK or Europe for a few years of continued sailing, selling the boat in the UK, or opting for the transportation of the boat via a freighter. Throughout the episode, a detailed exploration of the factors influencing their decision-making process unfolds. Be sure to tune in for this enlightening conversation.
