Bruce Maunsell is currently sailing his 40ft yacht Bob around the Pacific. He left New Zealand in 2023 and has sailed to Japan, Micronesia and Saipan, up to British Columbia and down to Mexico. He’s now in the Marquesas Islands ahead of sailing back to New Zealand through Polynesia later in the year. He chats to Jim about life aboard Bob.
