Norsearayder, I spent quite a bit of time on the Flemish Cap longlining in the early and mid-80's, and that place is about as far from Eden as it's possible to get. Saw some nasty weather there in October and November, and the sea mounts and the tail of the bank weren't much better. Now I prefer palm trees, but I was young and foolish then. Bob S/V Restless
If I told ya... you might show up and ruin the spot... So I ain't saying.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
