Seriously though. I wasn't around here last year and I can't turn up
the old thread. I'd love to know how you got into this and what would
possibly posses you to let the boat get underway with you on it. The
contrast between this and the pictures of your other excellent
adventures has me very curious.

Would you mind posting a recap?


Seriously, the kid rowing the boat was 23?, really great guy, mature
beyond his years but with zero offshore experience and very little
sailing experience, was afraid that he might sail off with the old man
and get himself killed. He'd never done an offshore before and was
anxious to go. He taught at inner city schools in NYC and if something
happened to him because I didn't go I would never have forgiven myself.
