Next message: Joe Engel: "TWL: RE: Age: Was Great Loop: Solo at 73"
I've seen what happens when a go-fast boat hits a log that's escaped a
boom a couple hundred miles up the coast and has meandered down our way.
Not that we'd escape Scott-free if we hit it at 8 knots, but at 17 or 20
knots, the bang is pretty loud and expensive."
Which is why.....
"The skippers stood up on their flying bridges staring grimly ahead and
the hell with any small boats or slow boats that happened to be nearby."
That, and the fact that they may have 1 week to cover an area that you
may have the luxury of taking a month to see. Retired versus vacation?
