Welcome to YARNS; Conversations with Cruisers, A Sailing Podcast James Frederick sits down with sailors he meets around the world to record their seas stories in remote anchorages and far-flung ports. All the interviews are recorded as a video podcast that is released on the Sailing Triteia YouTube Channel. They are also being made available as an audio podcast for those who prefer this format of content.  On this episode James interview’s Dave & Jaja Martin about their wild life of sailing a modified Cal 25 around the world and starting a family during the circumnavigation. With the arrival of their third child they upgraded to a steel 33ft boat, Driver, and headed for the arctic where whey over wintered in the ice year after year living in Newfoundland, Iceland, and the Lofoten Islands of Norway. This interview was a special treat because it was the first time I have interviewed two generations of sailors in the same family. Their daughter Holly Martin was on the podcast back in June of 2023 : https://youtu.be/gTMg8n-s0_U Thanks again to the Martin Family for having me over to your beautiful home for dinner and to spin some yarns and thanks to Holly for making it happen.  Dave & Jaja Bio: https://setsail.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/itl_bio.pdf Into the Light: A Family’s Epic Journey – Book : https://www.amazon.com/Into-Light-Familys-Epic-Journey/dp/1930086040 Documentary: Ice Blink : https://thesailingchannel.tv/product/ice-blink-family-sailing-adventure Holly Martin’s Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WindHippieSailing   ------------------------------ About the Host: James Frederick aka Sailor James is a solo circumnavigator slowly sailing around the world onboard his 1965 Alberg 30 Sloop SV Triteia.
