I read Skip's postings. Seems he is always having some mechanical
breakdown. If it isn't the self steerer, it is the
auto pilot.. or something.

I got to thinking ..

Joshua Slocum left Boston on April 24, 1895. He sailed around the world
alone. No motor, no self steering, a wooden boat.

That was one great sailor, that is all I'm thinking ..




Betcha Spray would have had a diesel if they had been available.
