The Boat Geeks #12 - Peter Knowles (Wood Boat Restorer, Monk Lover)
Recorded 04.05.24
Peter Knowles moved from Nova Scotia to Victoria, BC with his furry, four-legged sidekick Geordie and immediately fell in love with old Monk power cruisers. He translated his custom home building skills into refurbishing not one but three classic Monk cruisers!
Recorded aboard their floating studio in Port Townsend, WA, in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, your hosts Darren and Daeron take a deep dive into the world of boating.
This episode: Peter, best known by his popular KZfaq channel "Travels with Geordie" (HIGHLY recommended by The Boat Geeks), is a modern day Renaissance Man. He can build or rebuild anything on an old boat. Or an old car for that matter! He does so in a friendly, down-to-earth style that is both highly entertaining and educational. And if you've ever seen Travels with Geordie episodes and how he ends them, you'll enjoy our special "Beer of the Podcast" and "Word of the Podcast" ending.

As a long time subscriber of Peter's channel, I have to say that this podcast just made me happy. He is such a natural and positive. I've learned so much from Peter and I have to mention that he is one of the very few boat youtubers that inspired me to get my own and start restoring it. Now I have 3 wrecks haha. I watch him weekly all away from Barcelona, Spain. That is how the algorithm brought me to your podcast. Now I'm a subscriber to your channel as well. This shared passion about boats is infectious for me! Great episode!

What I enjoy about Peter’s show is his self effacement. I paraphrase - “watch me screw this up” - then proceed to do a beautiful job of whatever he’s working on. It’s great.

Totally agree! He sometimes seems surprised at how well a project turned out. Our favorite part is when he says, "that's beautiful!"

Great interview of Peter, I will agree a multipotentialite. Nearly singlehandedly conserving 3 pieces of marine history.

Makes a great gift for landlubber friends and family that don't understand our love for boating in these PNW waters!

Thanks guys. Love the show and have listened to all the podcasts from day 1. A happy find and keep up the good work!. My only comment is a technical one. And on the audo podcasts on my apple app, I have a hard time hearing Darren Katz (from an audio perspective). Darren O's baritone comes out clear and strong. I find myself turning up the radio so I can hear Darren 1 and then turning down when Darren 2's strong baritone (beautiful I might add) comes on. That is all. Keep up the good work!

Thank you, Doug! Appreciate the feedback. Yes, it's actually Daeron Katz with the awesome "radio voice". As the "old salt" of the pair, Darren O's voice is, well, a good dozen years older. :-) However, Daeron is also the audio recording engineer so we'll see if he can't boost the old guy's audio a bit. That wouldn't be until episode #15, though, as the next two shows have already been recorded. Please let us know if you can notice a difference at that time. Thanks!
