Doing Stuff Outdoors-22

On the show today we have a feature interview with Don Peer a 73 year old sailor and wooden boat builder from Nova Scotia. Gary met up with him earlier in the summer when he was out sailing in a maritime built wooden work boat he rigged up with sails. They talk about the joys of sailing and being on the water and cruising the Mediterranean Sea in a boat he designed himself. Don also tells Gary about the art of sculling with a single oar.

Gary and his wife Teresa also try out the sport of Nordic Walking with some old ski poles they found in the basement. And Gary's kayaking buddy Dennis Hickey is driven to poetry by a particularly inspiring outdoor adventure.

Podsafe music this week from the Dust Rhinos and the Redding Brothers.
