Good story! Paper charts and a sextant, that's what we always tell our customers.
When Suzanne and I first went to sea, a customer of ours was inspired and decided to sail on an old wooden boat to Martha's Vineyard with a couple he met in a pub (their boat).
They were dismasted and engineless the first night in the Atlantic and had quite an adventure getting to Cape Cod. I wish I'd saved his letter summing up the trip.
This story is bloodcurdling ! And definitely not the best place where you can experience that kind of misfortune !
Thank you for sharing the story, Bill. I am glad that the crew manged to survive.
Great narrative. If you read it in a sea story book you would never believe it.
