Years ago, some crazy Englishman sailed a Tiki 21 to New Zealand and back!! He was in love and there was this girl... Somewhere along the way, Azores or the Caribbean, he ran into a German guy and they pooled there resources to buy food for the leg from South America to a Pacific Island, mostly bannanas and Tuna! I think the guy's name was Rory Gallagher(?). He wrote an article about it if anyone's interested.

My intentions are rather less adventurous. If the weather is bad, I'll stay home and read a book! At any rate there are lots of places to hide between here and Cape Sable. The only real open water is from the Cape to Marathon.

btw- Thanks, Mary, for letting me know the Hog's Breath is single handed. I didn't find any information at the Calvert Sails site.
