We had a great team aboard Lucy for
the delivery from Tortola to
Brunswick. Owner Mike sailed the
entire trip (1200 miles) as did our
friend Cha Cha Thompson. We broke
the trip into 3 legs and had a third
crewmember for each of the 3 legs.
Thus we always had a crew of 3. On
leg one (Tortola to Turks and
Caicos), old friend and fellow racer
Eric Stallings sailed with us. We
picked up Mike Ventura (another
friend/sailor) in the Turks and he
sailed with us to Georgetown. In
Georgetown, we picked up our friend
(sailor and pilot) Andy Scherffius
for the final leg to Brunswick. |

passenger that had fallen off of
another ship - We were in the middle
of a coast guard search operation
