Harry,
Unlike you, I don't need to fabricate stories concerning my boats, my wife,
my education, my income or where I have been boating. I will tell you I
have not sailed a small sailboat around the Cape Horn. Why don't you tell
the story about the time you sailed around the Cape. Didn't you say you had
made the voyage 3 times. I bet that was a real adventure, huh?

I like the one about his daddy taking a 21 footer across the Atlantic and
getting a fireboat's welcome in New York city. That's especially inspirational
for me because I own a 21 footer. I wonder where I'd keep all the fuel?


There were two such voyages. My father was on the second. There were
some details of the trips on the internet as "historical" events, and I
might be able to locate some details.

Just because such a voyage is outside of your capabilities and daring
doesn't mean it is thus for others. The boat was manufactured in Sweden,
and one of its US designers was aboard for the trips. The fuel was
provided by the small tanker they accompanied across the ocean, as were
crew changes.

Hell, John, when you get up the daring to leave Rockhold Creek, you go
out, what, six miles into the bay to a buoy?

Some are a bit more adventurous.



Are you telling us that you didn't save the front page of the NY Times which had
this event as the lead story?
