About this episode
"My future captain interviewed me with three questions," remembers Joe Aultman-Moore. "Had I ever sailed before? No. Did I get seasick? I don't know . And, could I leave tomorrow? Yes. " As Joe learned to sail while hitchhiking a sailboat across the Atlantic Ocean, he also discovered the unexpected ways in which travel could explode his perceptions of normal. Check out " Going Into the Wild ," another essay Joe wrote on hitchhiking--but this time thumbing cars, not boats, through Interior Alaska.
