On Tuesday 18th October 2011, Rob Hopkins of Transition Culture and Transition Network visited Brixham to see a ship called Tres Hombres, the world's first entirely sail-powered cargo vessel. I spoke to members of the crew, and to other people attending a public event on the ship, to find out more about the ship, and about the whole idea of sail reemerging as the primary way in which goods are shifted around the world. This is my first ever podcast! Do let me know what you think.... www.transitionculture.org / www.transitionnetwork.org ' http://svtreshombres.homestead.com/ w
