But what is the take away from Herb's great article on this particular voyage? I don't think it's that "schedules are a killer" not with these experienced sailors (except the owner).
I think, as with all good writings, the reader is asked to supply some unanswered answers to many questions, on his or her own.
I'd love to sit down with Herb and a good bottle and talk about this..Maybe Jon E will read this and give us some insight.
