erice 732 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Ouch! Am reading now that it was a heavily over-built, home built, kauti, modified, nova 28 Bilge keeler. That lost its mast twice in its roaring 40s circumnavigate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,211 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Indeed, but realistically he was lucky to return from the 1st voyage. You can't say he didn't know what's out there. Respect for his dedication It's not the worst ending for someone who loved the sea... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grantmc 59 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 You're right Matt, he had a salty end that was somehow appropriate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,211 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Yeah, and that article saying its a mystery why they did not get off has no idea. In conditions that caused the loss of the boat to a very experienced seaman, in the cold southern ocean water, the chances of swimming or dingy ashore were virtually nil. ☹️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
