Yesterday, while sitting in the jury marshalling room, waiting to be
plucked into service, I was able to read Gerry Speiss' "Alone Against The
Atlantic" in which he describes how he designed, built, tested, and then
managed to cross an ocean in his 10' sailboat. Absolutely puny! My boat
was twice that size!

Yep! I wonder had badly the tiller *churned* him in a brisk breeze.
I love that transom seat.
