Wow, what are the odds someone googling the name would come across this post and we may have crewed on the same delivery to NY. It was true balls adventure for sure, but I think it took me a week into my next trip to dry out and stop shivering; I was ill prepared for that offshore trip.
It didn't deter me, fly back to Ft. Lauderdale to crew on a Crocker built catch heading towards San Francisco, with an unscheduled refueling stop in Cuba. Nothing like standing watch at 3am, with the sails set, everyone below, just you, the stars and the dolphins swimming in your bow wake. Southern Cross plays on the radio and I'm transported back in time.
