If you have not seen it take the time.

Thanks, Joe.

Finally something worth the time and effort to read this group...

Ya done good.

Saw it many years ago, sort of inspiring if you were thinking about
hauling cargo by sail.

I like the part where he jokes about the 4 prop kicking up such a
wake,,,that and when he climbs down the edge of the sail and forestay.
the fellow defined the term "Deck Ape".

Climbing down the edge of the sail was pretty amazing.
All you could do is pinch the edge. No way to actually
grab the sail.

That's got to be plain old (superhuman) hand strength!

I've passed it on to all my sailing friends.
I think I'll even post it on Sailing Anarchy tonight.
(and they think their guys are tough!)

Thanks again.
Real good share.
