Mark Featherstone & Jo Moon
Mark and Jo are a unique writing team, not only in the fact they bring an invaluable male and female perspective on the subjects they write about, which is something not found anywhere else in the world of marine journalism, but also, their amalgam of experience knits perfectly to bring a refreshingly different and well-balanced approach to everything they recount. Mark’s long background as a Round Britain powerboat adventure, former RNLI lifeboatman, and offshore yachtsman, coupled to Jo’s extensive knowledge and appreciation for culture, history and sealore, form a journalistic blend you’ll find nowhere else.
