NOW PLAYING: Episode #212 with Sara Hastreiter (Recycled)

Released: Tuesday, October 17, 2017

Summary: Sara Hastreiter sailed in the previous Volvo Ocean Race aboard the all-women Team SCA, skippered by Dee Caffari. Sara's off mountaineer for this year's event, set to sail on October 22. But Dee Caffari is heading up the mixed-crew team on 'Turn the Tide on Plastic,' so you know who I'll be rooting for this year! Mia and I met and sailed with Sara in NYC a few years back, and I had a chance to talk to her on Skype immediately following the last Volvo. Follow Sara on Twitter @SaraSailingUSA.
