Join Erin as she  dives in the life and times of Hali Boyd, director of The Seafarer Collective (theseafarercollective.org) and founder of SEE BEE Consulting (seebeepdx.com).  She talks about leaving school at the age of 15 to train horses and how a random conversation at a party started her journey in the tall ships community.  We learn the challenges of navigating the commercial world as a woman in the maritime workforce and to never underestimate a woman wearing a pink polo shirt holding a wrench. This also marks the third time Erin doesn't remember meeting the interviewee at an earlier TALL SHIPS CHALLENGE® event.  Ships/programs mentioned: Grays Harbor Historical Seaport, Lady Washington, Los Angeles Maritime Institute, Mary Day,  Sea Sisters, Tole Mour, Virginia, Unicorn

Since this was recorded back in August, Hali did want to add the following update: "With Grays Harbor Historical Seaport operating at reduced capacity, The Seafarer Collective is running maritime education courses as registration numbers allow. Keep an eye out for the 2021 course calendar to be released later this year."  Also, for those tall ships looking for some marketing/brand narrative and business development, reach out to Hali at www.seebeepdx.com
