By the looks of this rally. A third person adds a lot to a husband and wife crew. A fourth person, and things can get easier still, party like! A bigger boat is faster, a bigger crew is faster. And people that can afford this are older, we're making older people quickly, big boats are losing value,...this "bigger" crew/boat trend is not likely to end.

I wonder about the Volvo too. I suspect it is repairable and hope that's not an issue. Their future plans are flexible, they have not put an end date on their cruise. And this passage, while tougher than most for them, I doubt, will change their plans.
