EP 57 Amy Alton - Out Chasing Stars Part 1

Hello and welcome to the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast. In this episode, I have a conversation with Amy Alton, who along with her husband David Alton purchased a new catamaran in 2014 and sailed around the world. They finished their circumnavigation in 2020 a few weeks before the COVID pandemic hit. They have a YouTube channel, Out Chasing Stars, where they documented their around-the-world travel. They spent the better part of 2021 sailing on the Chesapeake Bay, which is also on their YouTube channel. We have a great conversation that is broken into 2 parts. Part 1 is about their circumnavigation and part 2 is about sailing the Chesapeake and Amy's writing career. Yep, she is an author also!
