I knew a guy that sailed a Cal 20 from Annapolis to Scotland. Too cramped below for me for that long. Joe

Two different boats do the same sailing trip, both of them from Halifax. I wonder what they add to the drinking water in Halifax. Btw. I think that the guys I know did it in a different (not C&C) boat and a little bit bigger (30 or 31 ft.).

Now whether he had his passport with him or didn't want a warm beer or his wife called and told him to get home, I can't say. On another sailing adventure, I met the Russian sailor that circumvented in a C&C 35 MKI......I didn't plan it but I just happened to be on the dock at our club to let his lines go when he left Halifax on his adventure and a few years later, I just happened to be on the dock to receive his lines when he returned. Why Halifax was his start and finish point, I don't know. I never thought to ask him. I gave him some chocolate bars just before he left and he gave me a bag of dried seaweed when he returned. I didn't eat the seaweed. He put the boat up for sale on his return to Halifax.....no idea what happened to it......it was pretty crude. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.
