I'm sure you would have the full support of those of us in the States. In fact,
we might even take up a collection for a prize should you survive your trip
across.

During a pub lunch the other day one of us said "I wouldn't mind
sailing to the Azores and back before I'm to old for it,,,," then it
went quiet for a bit.
So (again),,,,,,,,,
Anybody else like to come? Spring 2005. No entry fee. No organisation,
all boats sail under the Skippers responsibility only.
Side bets for small stakes only.

The more I think about this informal race the better I like
the idea. I'm intrigued by it. I think I should like to join
the fray but I would need to sail across the Pond to England
first. Where would this race start? Are there any yacht
clubs in the are which would be willing to host a famous American
yachtsman prior to the start of the race? Think of the prestige
a transAtlantic presence would lend to this race.
