"Pretty much, we just go sailing": On board St. Lawrence II with Captain Chris Chafe
<p>Shout out to Railton, Ontario! This week, Erin gets the unredacted scoop on Captain Chris Chafe. Captain Chafe is the executive director at Tall Ship Expeditions Canada (T.S.E.C.) - Brigantine Incorporated (<a href='https://www.tallshipexpeditions.com/'>www.tallshipexpeditions.com</a>) and captain of St. Lawrence II out of Kingston, Ontario. <br/><br/> Chris and Erin realize they have strong feelings about tides. We talk about how, sometimes, the right ship to do the job is the smallest ship to do the job , how you should never judge a captain by his red Converse, and, how their peer-led youth sail training program has evolved. Grab your skateboard and a Molson as we travel to the deep south of Canada. <br/> <br/>Ships mentioned: Empire Sandy, Europa, Kajama, HMCS Oriole, Pathfinder, Playfair, Tres Hombres. <br/><br/>For more information on the Ayalik Fund <a href='https://www.ayalikfund.ca/'>www.ayalikfund.ca</a> <br/>For more information on the Erie Canal <a href='https://www.eriecanal.org/'>www.eriecanal.org</a> is a great place to start. <br/><br/></p>
