Roanoke Island ,N.C. | Ruby Princess rescues boat adrift.Lights are on , mast is up, it's calm, what's the problem? Navigational power? , there's a sail on the boom. I'd be out salvaging that boat if I was in the Bahamas. I guess ALL French aren't good multihull sailors.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.

Long Beach, California | Lost navigational power? Does that mean the rudder fell off?

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.

Roanoke Island ,N.C. | Lost navigational power? Does that mean the rudder fell off? That's about the only thing I could think of. As calm as it is a floorboard or something would work if you didn't have an emergency rudder.Maybe they were out of water and food , that's about all that would get me to abandon that boat.
