White Squall Captain Dies

[lsusailing]

Dr. CB Sheldon died yesterday. He was the Captain of the Albatros which was featured in film, White Squall. I would think White Squall is one of the best sailing movies (along with Wind, Dead Calm, Captain Ron etc..) Very interesting guys. below is his orbit.

I am confused, the obit. says he passed away Oct. 5, 2002. Rest in Peace C.B. Sheldon.

I am also confused, I pulled up the NY Times as I do each day and here it is, January 2, 2009.

I have been drinking dark and stormies all night, I cannot see straight, so it is probably me. I have got to stop drinking them and just drink straight rum

Hey - nobody's gonna beat up on a guy who's been slamming D&S's all night long on freakin' New Year's! No problem ISUS.

Hey - did you hear that President Garfield was shot the other day?

Happy New Year, dude.

Reports of Robert Gainer's first death were greatly exaggerated...

You guys have been kind, must be 2009 resolutions. See you, going sailing, 43 degrees, drissly, I dont care
