I lived on a 1964 Angleman Ketch Sailboat. I restored much of it but it had much to go. Our "dock ducks" liked me in particular. I may have shared my cat food with them at times.

Dopo un paio d'ore circa di navigazione, riusciamo anche ad andare a vela con 18/20 nodi di poppa, passa sopra le nostre teste un fronte temporalesco, in lontananza una tromba marina prende forma, ci organizziamo subito, chiudiamo le vele, rizziamo meglio il tender e la passerella appoggiata ai candelieri sul ponte, via la canna da pesca e tutti gli imbarazzi nel pozzetto, serriamo le cime addugliate sui verricelli e prepariamo le lame del tambuccio per chiudere prima che di riempire la barca di acqua salata. Siamo pronti al peggio, ma la tromba marina si dissolve... sospiro di sollievo che dura poco. Infatti un'altra è in formazione proprio davanti a noi, stavolta anche più grande, noi siamo già pronti, penso di accelerare la velocità della barca per avere una inerzia maggiore, e prevalere con l'impatto della tromba marina in modo da uscirne dall'altra parte più velocemente possibile! Tremila giri, quasi otto nodi di velocità e lei è davanti a noi a meno di mille metri!! Cambio ancora rotta, ma sembra che ovunque metta la prua, lei riesca a starci davanti, adesso è leggermente a dritta avanza verso terra e l'angolo con la nostra rotta non cambia, siamo in rotta di collisione! Stiamo solo aspettando, secondi!! Ma se è vero che ognuno di noi ha un angelo custode, il mio è intervenuto anche stavolta, a meno di 500 metri si dissolve, sembra sollevarsi verso l'alto come se fosse un genio della lampada che torna all'interno della sua casa, stavolta verso l'alto però! Paura o timore di far danni? Tutto passato.

PURITAN is quite simply a #legend. She beautifully carries before her the spirit of America’s ‘Gilded Age’, was one of the earliest participants in the ‘Classic Yacht Revival’, and has continued evangelistically to spread the word for over four #decades, with alumni becoming key players; disciples even. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/688/PURITAN Built from the highest grade of steel then available by a shipyard set up to build submarines for the US Navy - and infused with the DNA of some of the finest American schooners - the care that went into PURITAN’s design and build, her ease of sailing and motion, and her spacious yet intimate accommodations have always guaranteed lovers, even when her chips were seriously down in the late 1960s. Mediterranean-based for most of the past 30 years, PURITAN has been enjoyed since 2015 in current ownership as a successful MCA-coded charter yacht and summertime family cruiser - with her centreboard-up draft allowing access to anchorages and harbours other yachts of her size can't reach.
