How I spent my Monday evening

On the way back in we tailed a 80ft schooner with quite a history.

Called ‘when and if’, it was a boat ordered by General Patton for him to sail around the world ’when’ the war was over, ‘if’ he survived it.

There used to be a sunset booze cruise there on a pirate ship.

There are plenty but we wanted our own boat.

@89th LOL

[Jolly]

Great experience.

Very romantic...

[Klaus]

Do you know how to sail?

[jon-nyc]

Net really we had a crew of two.

I did learn a bit really young on my friend’s 12’ Hobie Cat but it’s been decades.

Hasn’t changed much.

[jon-nyc]

True, but a 12’ Hobie catamaran sails quite a bit different than a 41’ Island Trader Ketch.

Yeah… If we lived a little closer to a good body of water, I’d get a Hobie Cat. They are like the moped of sailing craft…
