Hal Roth and Margaret used to live about 3 miles from here. He was an amazing
guy. A group has regular lunches on Wednesdays - one week he attended - we were
dazzled by his deeds - his boat was in the Med. and they had been sailing
around there. Then he didn't show up for a few weeks and when he came again, he
had gone over and brought it back to the Chesapeake. He was about 5'5" tall,
Margaret is less than 5'. Amazing folks. He also did a couple of solo 'round
the world' races back in the old days - and he and Margaret did a circle around
the Pacific, starting and ending in Seattle. Both are documented in other books
by Hal.

I read Two Against Cape Horn by Hal Roth this winter and enjoyed it as much
for sailing adventure (that I don’t want to do) as for a travelog of an area I
knew nothing about. Still don’t know how they got the picture on the cover.
It made me glad I was reading it at home by the fire instead of sailing in
worse weather than what was outside my house. Get well! Dave

Chuck,
Your "grounding" could be worse.
Couple weeks ago I went in for a heart stress test after feeling a
"twinge" under my left armpit. Stress test turned into a trip to the
catheterization lab followed by a double bypass later that night. I'm a
bonafide member of the "zipper" club now.
Complete surprise. No other blockages anywhere. Very strange.
Recovering quickly. Walking several miles a day but sailing is off the
schedule for a while. Can't grind a winch with a split open sternum.
Guess I'll make a trip to the library. Oh, wait. I can't drive for two
more weeks. :( Sucks.
