The Qualified Captain Podcast Episode #3 - Pyrate Rob

Two years ago, Mat Wood and two reliable watermen took his Barker 40' center console from Sarasota, Florida to Papagayo, Costa Rica. There were many who doubted they would make it, but that didn't stop them. The legendary Rob Plath aka "Pyrate Rob" sat down with us to tell their extraordinary story of this once-in-a-lifetime trip he just couldn't refuse. There are few as salty as Pyrate Rob, and anyone who knows him will confirm this. Two and a half hours later, and about a dozen beers deep, Rob and I discussed their entire experience, including their near-fatal escape. An absolutely insane sea story that's worth listening to.

Great podcast but you have got to stop interrupting. Folks won’t watch if you keep doing that.

So I’m guessing these photos don’t exist and half of this story is fake

Crazy world out there, spend a little time in any bar where salty dogs hang out and you will find that stories like this are a lot more common than you would expect.

The podcaster cannot be topped. Let the dude talk! He cuts Salty dude off every chance he gets. Shut up and listen. Save the “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah’s” Pretty annoying when he constantly interrupts and is all like “Oh, I know. I’m cool, too!!!”
