Lifelong Sailor Thad Van Gilder
Welcome to episode 189 of The Shooting the Breeze Sailing Podcast (STBSP), our chat with Upper Chesapeake Bay Sailing Facebook groups resident Guru, Thad Van Gilder.
He started sailing when he was a young kid, building small boats as he went along. The backwaters of the NJ shore were his playground where he honed his skills running into bridges and shallow water. After college he spent his summers sailing the Delmarva bays and rivers on a variety of boats. Later on he started working on boats and delivering boats on the side.
