The Cormanus Chronicles - The Three Strikes Ride

[Cormanus]

Great chronicle Cormanus. I'm eager to get to the sailing parts. I've sailed for the past 40+ years. When I was selling my last boat, a '94 Beneteau OC400, I got emails from Australia and NZ, but I advised against their plan to sail the boat from SoCal to Aussieland, because the rig is deck-stepped and not a real a blue-water vessel. They're built for the charter trade. I sailed it from Long Beach, CA to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in 2000, and wrote an account and had it published in a travel magazine. Here's a link: http://traveloutward.com/archives/62



Looking forward to the next bits!

I enjoyed the piece you wrote, Charlie Bravo. Thanks for the link. It sounded like a typical trip on a yacht, really, with this and that malfunctioning. Most of my cruising is inshore precisely to avoid overnight sailing. This being a motorcycle forum and all, I was going to gloss over the sailing part of the trip. I’ll have a bit of a rethink as it was a great sail.
