Another beautiful day and more newspaper news from yesteryear. It’s always difficult picking the juiciest bits to share!
The headline “Hardy Sailors Gear Up for Vasco Da Gama Race” may interest those who like ocean races and passages as it is from a column I wrote just prior to the Vasco Race when I read two books on the greatest storms at sea! Probably not a wise thing to do before racing along a coast which itself has produced many a storm worthy of being described as “greatest”.
