The boat I nearly crossed the Atlantic on......

She's called Chelone, and she's a Hans Christian 38. We met her owner, John, through another friend, Tom. John was taking Chelone from Neyland to the Caribbean last October, and returned to Neyland just a few days ago, after crossing back single handed.

John had spoken to me when he'd been looking for crew, and I'd loved to have made the trip, but finances and timing were not right, so I didn't go. We met up with John yesterday, to hear tales from his trip, but need to see him again when we have more time, to hear much more, and, of course, to pick up tips and tricks, if we ever hope to do similar ourselves one day.
