Mike on Celtic Cross, a Fischer 30 sailboat docked behind us yesterday. He just purchased her in Sault Ste. Marie and is single-handing her home to Virginia. While on Lake Erie a few weeks ago he hit a storm and was at the helm for three days. He said the waves were directionless and like teeth--straight up and down. It was all he could do to keep the boat pointed into the wind. He showed us his hands, they were covered with blisters. Finally, dehydrated and exhausted he called for help. The Canadian Coast Guard towed him in. The next two days were spent in a hospital. If anybody's looking for a Fischer 30, Mike says his is for sale.

We took the day off today; not counting the time doing laundry, grocery shopping, and boat repairs. Moving west tomorrow. DBH
