The Boat Geeks #48 - Bob Bitchin, Founder Latitudes & Attitudes

Bob has led a remarkably adventurous life! From his outlaw biker days in the 70s, to publishing multiple magazines, to sailing more than 100,000 miles all around the world, Bob has been inspiring people for more than 50 years with his mantra: Attitude is the difference between ordeal and adventure!

Recorded aboard their floating studio in Port Townsend, WA, in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, Daeron and Darren take a deep dive into the world of boating.

In this "lost" episode: Darren catches up with his old friend and business partner, Bob Bitchin. Although they can't help but do some reminiscing about the good old days doing Latitudes & Attitudes magazine and TV show, they dive into each of the 11 books Bob has authored over the last four-plus decades. Just like the rest of Bob's life, they are full of fun, wild, and crazy stories of a most interesting life spent on wheels and keels. FTW!
