Watched on New Zealand TV an Australian programme Code 1 Minute by Minute about the 1998 Sydney tio Hobart Yacht Race which was hit by a super cell storm in Bass Srait when several yachts were lost; and six yachties, with some rescued by helicopter. I thought of John & Susan Walker in WDMTGTS!
And two sayings about yachting: Like standing under a cold shower tearing up ten pound notes. And on private yachts by someone like John D. Rockefeller about private yachts over 100 years ago – If you have to ask how much one costs to run, you can’t afford it. But that would have been for a private steamship with a fulltime paid crew – including a chef!
