This is the story of a 14' boat Are you sure the Nordica 16 is sixteen feet, not 16 metres? I'll be damned - I thought this boat looked familiar. My Uncle has one of these and sails it in Lake Michigan. Well double danged dingy do - how about that? I still wouldn't sail it across the North Atlantic. I think it is OK. We can let Scott Peterson sail with him. I have looked at the 19' boat a Japanese teenager sailed over years ago. Not a lot of room, and he said the trip was hard. Is at the SF Maritime Museum. Hey, takes all kinds. Wouldn't be something I'd want to attempt without a bigger boat. A really BIG boat. :) Later, Tom |

A really BIG boat. :) Later, Tom I love my boat and other boats, but going across the Pacific, I prefer a big airplane and business class seats. When I used to travel to Asia on business, you came to the understanding that it is a big pond down their. 14.5 hours in the air at nearly 600 mph, says it is too long in a ship at 15-20 mph. I turned down the chance at an appointment to the California Maritime academy as I did not want to spend 9 months a year a sea. The family friend, who was a graduate, who could have got me in, did not go to sea. Ended up as the Harbor Master in SEA during the war. Still do not like cruise ships. Well maybe if I got to drive it. |
