Fred Apstein is a man of many talents. He studied at Sustainable Community Development and Royal Roads University, but what he loves to do is sailing, building boats, cooking seafood, and picking up the pieces when things go wrong! He's been in business for over 40 years with no refrigeration on his sailboats - that means food drying and pickling became necessary skills. Now he's getting into fermentation just because it sounds like fun! Fred's passion is finding new ways to be self-sufficient at sea - living off the land as much as possible. It’s about spending more time traveling than being tied up in port waiting for something to happen or making money so you can go again!
