This is a great boating story with a not so happy ending, still a
great story nevertheless.

It's almost enough to discourage me from the thought of transiting my
trawler to Europe via Greenland. It's on my bucket list however. :-)

Interestingly enough I most likely saw the Sheila Yeates a couple of
times since I was in New York Harbor on my own boats for both OpSail
'76 and the Statue of Liberty celebration in '86.
