Larkin Bohn: Able Bodied Seaman, Videographer, and Science Educator

The Smoko Podcast

Tune in as I sit down with a seasoned sailor, Larkin Bohn, who shares her remarkable journey and experiences within the maritime industry. We delves deep into Larkin's story, unveiling the twists and turns that led her from landlocked Kentucky to a life on the high seas.

She went from planning a vacation to Hawaii to joining the crew of a ship, setting sail on an unforeseen path. Eager to learn more about life at sea, Larkin networked her way into a deckhand role, marking her entry into the maritime world.

She transitioned from an unlicensed deckhand to a licensed one, accumulating sea days and expanding her skill set along the way. Larkin and Alexis discuss the dynamic and unpredictable nature of maritime life. They share anecdotes of sailing through storms, encountering breathtaking wildlife like humpback whales, and responding to challenging situations, such as medical emergencies.

Larkin's work on the research vessel "Pressure Drop" and her role as a communicator and videographer come to the fore. The episode provides a glimpse into her upcoming projects, including her work aboard the Joides Resolution where she aims to make science more accessible and engaging through science communication.
