[Alberg30] REPLACING MY VOLVO 10HP

[Gordon LACO]

Hello again - 

You may be interested in our average daily runs under sail... Sint Maarten
to Bermuda is about 980 miles and we did it in 9 days... a 108 or 109 mile
per day average including one day becalmed is pretty good.  the Bermuda to
New York passage took us 5 1/2 days - we romped the first three days doing
150, 170 and 165 each day then slowed down at the end.  We ended up creeping
in past Sandy Hook in fog and in the dark with ships roaring in and out past
us.   Due to the engine being dead our batteries were flat so we were quite
concerned about being run down.  We stayed on a course between the in and
outbound ship lanes hoping that in avoiding eachother they would miss us.
As soon as we got past the entrance we got into shallow water for
protection.  

Gord
