This week on A Barque, a Brig, and a Schooner...
Walk into a Bar:

Welcome to Season Three! We have a doozy of an episode - it's cozy, it's inspiring, it's a journey - and we are here for it. This month, Erin chats delightedly with Susan Brittain, Marketing, Membership and Public Programs Associate with Sound Experience (www.soundexp.org) and Tall Ships America's 2021 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient.

We talk about her growing up in England, where the water was her escape, her time as a captain, a caulker, ship carpenter, and rigger, and her love of teaching young people on board.

We also discuss the incredible Gender Odyssey program aboard Schooner Adventuress and Sound Experience's work in creating a safe space on board their vessel for non-binary,  transgender and gender-fluid teens, and how Susan's own personal experience influenced this program.
