Default Struggling to Bermuda

Captain Roger ,, I just checked her web site.. Seems to be saying things are
getting better for her.

The web site says that she is going to be flown to RI, get some rest, and
when strong enough and her boat in decent shape, she will be off for RI.

I figure if she is delayed long enough ,, I may be in Bristol with my boat
when she comes in. That would be kinda neat.

I will tell her "Donna, you are nuts, but your a damn good sailor".

Honesty is the best policy.

Is anyone else following Donna Lange's struggle to reach Bermuda? This is
turning into real drama.

Whatever judgements you make about how she got into this mess, it's a good
thing for anyone who goes deepwater to be reminded what reserves of
strength and endurance we carry. All too many people give up too soon and
sometimes even die as a result.

If this were your typical yachtsman in his half million dollar Beneatau
with a full crew, he would probably already be back on shore with his feet
up on the desk asking his secretary to place a call to the insurance
company. You've got to admire her determination not to push the "Easy
Button".
