    The first thing I learned about sailing is that when you have two boats on the same body of water they are racing, whether the second boat is or not.

    PS: since you use the WordPress software for this, there should be some I think Widgets to make is easier to do thing like sharing or I like the Print option as I from time to time print these to read at my leisure or to share with friends

    Thanks

      Mike, that’s an excellent suggestion and you are entirely correct: such widgets exist and are even included in the WordPress installation here… we simply didn’t have them turned on.

      Now they are, so please print and share to your heart’s content.

    Very good story Brion. I could feel the cold sleet and salt on my skin. This was a time when we did battle with the elements not for fun but to survive! I really enjoyed reading this bit of nautical history.
