cam 0 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Thats a beaut read, thanks Grant. Interesting to read his view on the forecast for the 1951 Lyttleton Race, and his actions to turn back at Baring head in calm conditions, based on a bad feeling, that's quite a sixth sense. Or maybe just experience some of us haven't got. And wish we did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
