Sailing Anarchy Writer Survives an Eight-Hour Interview with Hawaii Sailors! Mr. Clean Can’t Find GPS Breadcrumbs
Here is the summary on the Sailing Anarchy thread of the Jennifer Appel and Tasha Fuiava podcast interview on Wednesday, November 29, 2017. That interview on the Sailing Anarchy Podcast was not up at the time of this post and was not expected until December 3. It appears Mr. Clean, who, despite his moniker, swears a great deal on his podcast, was with the ladies (and dogs) until the wee hours of the morning. By Thursday, November 30, 2017, Mr. Clean had won his freedom from the ladies, but was still in bondage of his obligations to his toddler and dog. Check out episodes 40, 41, and 42 of the Slow Boat Sailing Podcast or read the many blogs below on the Slow Boat Sailing Blog to get up to speed on the nutty tale of the two women who were NOT lost at sea.
By all accounts, this was an all-day interview.
Jennifer Appel posted this on her GoFundMe page:
“Thank you Mr. Clean for the interview. Longest one we have done and absolute best for teaching me new things that I will use going forward!
As promised, I would like to augment the Go Fund Me to ask for money to build a new boat and get back out on the water instead of going after the media for the story. If you are curious about the highlights of our excursion – go listen to the podcast from Sailing Anarchy. You can only get the real deal from them.”
Mr. Clean said on the Sailing Anarchy thread at various points:
“still interviewing. 8 hours later. oh boy.”
“That being said, sitting here outside their storage unit while Jennifer looks for documents for a half hour ain’t that fun for me or their dogs,” he wrote. The dogs pictured were Zeus and Valentine, Tasha’s and Jennifer’s dogs, respectively.
“with the work involved more like Sunday afternoon. Recorded about 5 hours, need to edit out about 3. You’ll understand why when you hear it.” Mr. Clean wrote.

Jennifer Appel was interviewed by Slow Boat Sailing for episode 42 of our podcast for over an hour. Ms. Appel halted the interview because she had another appointment. Only about 50 minutes of audio was usable between some long pauses and getting Skype to work. The Slow Boat Sailing Podcast strives to never produce an episode longer than an hour or shorter than 30 minutes. Mr. Clean’s Sailing Anarchy Podcast often goes on over two hours! We did extend an invitation to Ms. Appel to continue the interview, which was about half done when she had to go. We have not arranged a time to speak again to date.
Jennifer Appel told the Slow Boat Sailing Podcast in the bonus interview to episode 42 that she had never looked at the GPS tracks on the Garmin GPSMAP 76cx. She told Matt Lauer on the Today Show, before Mr. Lauer was fired, that her tracks proved she wasn’t near Tahiti on June 15, 2017. The USCG hailed the SV Sea Nymph which responded to the hail on June 15. It appears Mr. Clean could not find any tracks on the Garmin GPSMAP 76cx micro SD card. See the posts below:
“GPS doesn’t interface with a mac.”
“SD card appears to be empty, tracks must be on the unit which needs a charge. Any ideas?”
“If could see the data I wouldn’t have posted here.”
“Took the GPS home with me, and will bring it over to a friends when I get home. Lot of work ahead to finish this story.”
Mr. Clean said on the Sailing Anarchy thread:
“For those wondering, I’m at a hotel in the middle of Pennsylvania with the toddler in a packnplay in the corner and the dog laying on the floor at the foot of the bed. Was driving for 7 hours today after being up til 4 AM after running the girls back to their hotel. No, I’m not doing any work right now.”
Mr. Clean made it out without having to pull his EPIRB or call in the Navy. There is no indication if any safe words were used.
