Nice photo of you in the companionway, Bubbles.


That old fellow was aboard Tenacious during the Fastnet disaster. His
study had photos of him at the helm of boats most of us can only dream
of sailing, from giant tri-hulls to Pywacket herself. Windward 1st was
his second 35s5, but bad knees made him sell it to me. He still races
his Tartan Ten which is a boat he can negotiate due to flush decks. He
was supposed to visit us over the summer but his health is not good at
present. After working hard and now working with local charities, all
he wants in the world is to keep sailing. Getting old really sucks.

There is an alternative of which you could avail yourself, Bubbles. ;-)
