Yep, I was a crewman on the 70′ racing yacht “Wind Dancer.”
It was the annual Muskegon MI to Milwaukee WI night yacht race.
I was 64 and the oldest guy on our boat.
Our biggest competitor was a 100′ racing yacht.
That night, there was a very strong wind from the north pushing us at top speed.
As I sat on the rail, I thought of my family all asleep while I was having the time of my life with a bunch of strangers.
We finished the 66 mile trip just at sunrise.
Even though the 100′ boat beat us to the entrance of Milwaukee harbor…
We beat them by less than a minute on corrected time.
Memories!
