Ritchie's yacht
As I mentioned the other day we thought Richie's yacht was moored next to us. Turns out it wasn't. I had spent several hours drying out pebbles to put in a plastic milk bottle with a note which I threw into the cockpit. A half hour later the owner showed up so I went for a visit. He's alone sailing a Whitby 42 from Victoria around the world. Flies home 2x per year. Just arrived, hit 60 knots on the way, a fair bit of damage but I forgot to ask what. He sleeps from 11 pm to 7 am, he has AIS and radar with alarms at 12 and 6 miles. In twenty thousand miles of cruising he's seen three ships. Gutsy guy and he's not young unlike us. L and B
