Fortunatly he lives to sail again and to tell a great tale for years to come. I do not envy the experience he endured. In 1956 I was a young USNR-R Seaman aboard the USS Franklin D Rossevelt in that same area as we were about to round the horn. A day or so out of Valpariso, Chile we encountered a storm that lasted for nearly a week. The waves were so high that they crashed over the bow of that gigantic vessel, props came out of the water shaking it violently and the canted deck would dig into the sea at times. I can not imagine being in that kind of condition in any small boat. The morning after the storm let up we arrived at the horn, stopped a ways of shore and all the crew mustered on the flight deck. The sea was as calm as a small lake on a mid-summer evening. What a sight. Anyway thank goodness for those that took part in his rescue. Bob
