Shaw, Shaw, & Field // Pacific Passage Debrief - Ep. 141

About this episode

Benjamin Shaw and his crew debrief their 3,000 nautical mile passage from Mexico to French Polynesia, sharing experiences from the journey.

After completing a nearly 3,000 nautical mile passage from Banderas Bay, Mexico to the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia, my crew and I sit down to debrief our voyage. Joining me on Dovka for the 23.5 day ocean crossing was my brother Jon Shaw and my college buddy Tim Field. A few days after arrival, the three of us sat down to discuss the highs and lows of the trip, from a magical manta ray visit to managing the monotony of late night watches. You can relive moments from the passage @SVDovka on Instagram.
