Wow... after all Joe said/did about his retrofit. It's hard to imagine how
rough it must have been (ocean conditions and psychological effect of having
to abandon her).

I hope we'll hear the first-hand account when Joe gets back and gets
settled.

Fortunately, it was only a thing that was damaged or lost, not a person.

In any case, he was out there doing it, while a lot of others talk a good
act, but in fact do little.


As I'm rarely here now, just seen all of this, watched the video. Video
or photos won't show the half of it (the Sydney Hobart disaster photos
just looked like a rough sea...) But there's a video shot of Red Cloud
falling off a wave that gives a good (=very bad)feel for the conditions.

And yes, well put. They were out there doing...
