TFT Bilbo. BlueMoment is a better place for your contributions.

I'd read the others before but the Fastnet tale was new to me. I've several friends and acquaintances who've sailed the Atlantic but to think that I've exchanged PMs with a Fastnet winner... We are not worthy!

This probly reads a bit TIC but it snot.
