Episode 3: Blood, Sweat & Tears

This week Jess and Hannah manage to get off their grubby old ship and explore the world of volunteering.  It’s part and parcel of our industry and part of learning, getting a foot in the door, of networking; but what are the pros and cons? We speak to some of the volunteers our sector so heavily relies on and the organisations that depend on them, to get the low down.

In our first 'Off Watch On Location' road trip, we visit the Britannia Sailing Trust, located in Devon and we catch up once more with Adrian Ragbourne of Seas Your Future to get their takes on volunteering. Later in the show we share the incredible story of Mary Anne Pattern and announce a very exciting partnership between the Off Watch Podcast and Lloyds Register Foundation!
