Re: 69 year's old woman sailed away for a solo circumnavigation

PCP- I think she lost her boat just 60nm from completing her solo non-stop circimnavigation on her first try. On her second attempt she suffered a knock down not to far from Cape Horn. Hopefully she...

Re: Boarding and rafting to stranger's boats.

Don't recall me or anyone else ever asking for permission when rafted to cross to get to the pier. Just my experience.

Re: Boarding and rafting to stranger's boats.

Casey1999 after a cursory review it would appear the most people are ok with the rafting and point out and ostracise the ones who aren't. The damaged boat you point out was at the end of 14 boats...

Re: Boarding and rafting to stranger's boats.
