Peter It is well known (by us real sailors, at least) that Capt. Slocum was lost in a gale off Martha's Vineyard. "On November 14, 1909 he was sailing off Martha's Vineyard when a gale came up. He and the Spray were never seen again." This is quoted from a book called "Seafaring America." Copyright 1974 by American Heritage Publishing Company.

Peter Either that or he landed on some tropical shore, met a nubile young thing and decided to just tie his hammock to the palm tree and stay right there. No more of this stupid sailing.

It must be age after all - no disrespect meant to Slocum. Peter |
