Jess Dobie is co-owner of Switch Sails in Brisbane, Australia.  They specialize in sails for yachts and racing ships. They've also made sails for some of your favorite pirate films.
We'll find out about the cutting edge in modern sail-making and the growing number of people retiring on the sea instead of in a Winnebago.
We'll also catch up with author Jenai Marek (previously heard in ep 128) about her new book and her efforts to bring a pirate festival to Galveston, TX. 
You can sign Jenai's Galveston pirate fest petition here. Under The Crossbones is a podcast all about pirate culture.  Your host Phil Johnson (comedian, musician, and pirate geek) interviews the most interesting people in the pirate subculture: Actors, Authors, Historians, Musicians, Artists, Festival Founders, Clothing and Prop Designers, Treasure Hunters, Archaeologists, and more.
