21. Sea Scout Leader and Old School Mariner- Tom Rogers

Nautical Knowledge and Nonsense

I got to sit down with two other captains (Tom Rogers and Ken Lazarus) to talk all about the Sea Scouts program in Tacoma WA. Tom was the star of the show with over 60 years experience working with the Sea Scouts. We talk all about the program and the life-long impact it has on so many. We also talk about "running a fathom line" for navigation, how to memorize the signal flags and their meaning (you will never in a million years forget the "Whiskey" flag after listening to this episode!) as well as the state of the youth today (Tom's answer might surprise you).

Intro/Ending Music: Many thanks to Riggy Rackin for allowing the use of music from his Nauticas album. The intro and ending themes are the sailor song "A Roving", specifically track 1. Learn more or order his music at www.riggy.com
