Listener/reader comments

David Toste – Hi Peter, just wanted to drop you a quick email since your always wondering about your listeners. I’m located just outside of Toronto(Canada), not in the Maritime biz, but a sailor on Lake Ontario. I believe I heard about the podcast on Furled Sails Podcast and have been listening almost right from the being. Really enjoy it even thought I’m not in the biz.
