weather and crew, reading in the cockpit by moon light, 2 weeks on one tack,
getting ready for night watch by putting on a T-shirt, and teaching the crew
the words to Jimmy Buffett's "Cheeseburger in Paradise". We hit the dock at
Shilshole around dawn on a weekday. By 9AM we were loaded into my 1969 Ford
Econoline van headed to one of the crew's lakeside houses for a party. It was
a great year to be young, single, and hooked on offshore sailing.> > The one
thing that would have improved it would be to know what I now know about
offshore fishing under sail. Back in 77 no one on the crew knew how to catch
tuna and mahi mahi. With what I learned on later Hawaii deliveries we could
have been eating like kings most of the trip back to Seattle.> > Martin
