As I stated, you can certainly go 50 mph in the right deep vee CC in the
Gulf Stream off Florida on the right days.
On the right days you can go transatlantic on a dinghy.
Nice try at a recovery, W'hine. But you know and I know you know that
you are wrong once again.
Dumfoch, indeed:
The massive Queen Mary 2 made history when it crossed the Atlantic
Ocean earlier this year. So did Hugo Vihlen. But the trips could not
have been more different.
Vihlen, now 72, completed his 105-day voyage in 1993 on a 5-foot-4-
inch boat named Father's Day. With the trip, he set a new record for
smallest boat to have crossed the Atlantic.
You probably didn't know this, but Harry's father rowed across the
Atlantic and got a hero's welcome in NY Harbor.
