Thanks for the update!
It was the story of Francis Chichester and the Gipsy Moth that gave
me the desire to sail the world, a desire that I have not yet
accomplished.
Of course the story "scared the dickens" out of me as my Grandmother
would have said, but it was not Slocum or Magellan or Drake that got
me hooked - it was the Gipsy Moth IV, so I hope to see this ship
someday.
