This episode is in collaboration between OC16 and ʻŌiwi TV, offering our viewers an in-depth look into cooking Hawaiian style and Hawaiian style voyaging. During the show, Gary shares several stories of his time at sea, during his sail down to Rapa Nui in the 90’s, as well as more recent voyages, like his latest across the treacherous Indian Ocean. Gary also talks about the cook’s role and how a hot plate can lift the crew’s spirits.
