I received an interesting email from a friend commenting on Wayne's post from yesterday. Here is an excerpt: "...A fascinating juxtaposition of your blog from the day before and his today. You wrote of the tumult and Wayne begins simply "Well after a great day in the Atlantic..." what a contrast. When I finished your blog with the image of you curled up on your bed and Gary off somewhere fighting being green, I wondered how the captain fared. I learned today in his blog and clearly he fared well..."
All three of us roared with laughter when we read the part about the Captain faring well. There's no way Gary and I are about to let Wayne get away with leaving that impression, so here he is with clarification:
Captain Wayne: Oops! I was laughing as well! The "great day" in my post was intended to refer only to the distance we covered that day. The ride was as uncomfortable as any I have been on. The waves were steep and coming from several directions. They were actually piling into heaps most of the day. Gary called them "hay stackers,” which is a great description. The wind was so close off the stern that sails did not help the motion. I hope we can avoid more of these. At least we were nice and secure in our Island Packet even if we were all a little "green."
