realized it looks like a private message or perhaps a porn come on.)

I suggest looking at this quickly before it's moved off for new content:

I haven't been able to find any news about the boat. If anyone knows, I
would appreciate knowing if she was recovered.

I hope to be sailing like this when I'm this fellow's age although I'll
try to do a better job of weather forecasting.

The boat is an aluminum Colvin design. The main problem, aside from
fatigue and exposure, appears to have been the lee shore of Race Point,
Cape Cod, 22 miles away.

He found himself almost in the breakers and sailed back out again. She
appears to be making enough westing under staysail and half of a blown out
jib to have cleared the land but the Coast Guard swimmer they put aboard
found him hypothermic and hallucinating. They told him he was leaving and
he was glad to go at that point.

Another case where the boat was a lot tougher than the crew although I'll
bet this fellow is way tougher than most of the people who hang around
this newsgroup. (Also a lot more optimistic about weather than most of
us.)
