Episode 32: Pilot John the Adventurer - Survival Suits and Big Waves on the Bering Sea

Ten Minute Travels

Ever wonder what would happen if you had a cauldron of enthusiasm at a slow simmer and you added Mr. Rogers, Chuck Yeager, an Uzi and an eye of newt? You might make a Jon Bisson. This man came up through the US Air Force and flew everything they had, sometimes starting the turbines with shotgun shells cuz he couldn't be bothered to wait for the auxiliary power unit while stationed in the Aleutian Islands. He flew for the major airlines, then bounced all around the Bahamas in single engine Cessnas. This man fills his days. We were lucky enough to hear him talk about sailing 30 foot seas between Alaska and Japan. Buckle up and make sure the belt is snug.

In this episode, John talks about crossing the Bering Sea in a small sailing boat.
