Dennis and Cam Raedeke aboard Wild Wind IV were rounding Sandy Hook this morning when I spoke with them by telephone. They are working their way up the east coast of the U.S., seeing the sights, meeting friends. In about six to eight weeks, they'll be starting the final phase of their voyage home from new Zealand to Wisconsin when they enter the St. Lawrence River and head for the Great Lakes. I had the opportunity to visit with Dennis and Cam and see Wild Wind IV in Washington, D.C., a few week ago. What wonderful people and what a gorgeous boat! Listee Brian Eiland was to visit Wild Wind IV the next day, and perhaps he'll chime in here with his observations about the 60-foot Tennant/Pachoud cataraman. --Georgs Earlier post: http://lists.samurai.com/pipermail/power-catamaran/2005-April/000124.html
