The Amazon turns on it's side, Nancy is pulled from the water, but the Amazon does not sink.

Given the weight of the centreboard and the lack of air tanks in the boat this is a: not likely and b: if likely then the SD story is factually in error. You can not have it both ways.

AR's problem with CN is no centre to the story nor is the likely story of fishing for char that exciting.

This is another story where Dick and the Coots could have come to the fore, I wonder why he just gave up. Maybe he had enough money or maybe he wsa just to tired.
