Multi-folk songstress and moonlighting Castanets participant, Jana Hunter was drinking and playing pool with bones and dust slinger Red Hunter (Peter & the Wolf; no relation) when they happened upon a magical vision for a new way to tour; boat.  Troubadors in the 15th century were explorers and didn’t just follow some convention.

A few days later, Jana was catching up with her friend, OCDJ (Dan Gaeta).  He’d been away for a few months and turned out he’d been sailing.  Turned out he was about to buy his own boat, leave his job at WFMU in NJ, and sail indefinitely.  He wears a real eyepatch, and his life is a mythology of strange, epic tales, so the decision on a skipper was logical.  Jana easily convinced him to guide and called Red to confirm that it was on.  Soon Ray Raposa (Castanets) heard and was on board.

The tour/boat launches August 19th in New York and will be traveling the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway for three weeks to Norfolk, VA.
