Kevin Boyle // Cruising in Your 20s - Ep. 139

About this episode

Benjamin Shaw interviews 23-year-old Kevin Boyle about his experiences cruising in his 20s and his current journey across the Pacific.

I met 23-year-old Kevin Boyle when he sailed into La Cruz Mexico aboard his Ericson 32 and I took his lines at the dock. Kevin stuck out in the sailing community of La Cruz because of his young age. He reminded me of myself when I went cruising in my 20s and I really wanted to talk to him about his experience cruising a young person and seeing how he made that happen. He’s currently crossing the Pacific from Mexico to the Marquesas and I’m hoping we can reconnect in French Polynesia.
