I am not Jerry Whipple, but I might as well be.
Such is the story of Jerry Whipple, who started out July 24th in the best way possible: floating on a pool raft in the ocean, under the Florida sun, with a beer (or two, or three...?) in hand. Unfortunately, Jerry Whipple had one too many and passed out cold. A boater spotted him about a mile offshore and honked their horn, which did nothing to rouse him. The Coast Guard was called. Jerry was rescued. The story hit the press, and one lucky bastard dodged a Darwin Award.
Read the full story here. Enjoy.
Love,
Brittany & Scott

Hi Calvin - there is a LOT of information on this site about what we did to our boat, check our the Refit page and you will see your answers. We did away with the Hydraullic steering and went with Edson chain and conduit steering for peace of mind. Please refer to our "refit" page for the rest and email us at windtraveler09(at)gmail.com if you have any questions!
ReplyDeleteYou'll love the Rasmus - she is a fantastic boat!!
It’s always entertaining to hear stories like Jerry Whipple's, where a relaxing day can turn into an unexpected adventure. As someone living in Germany, I appreciate the lessons learned from such experiences. Being cautious while enjoying leisure time is essential, especially when alcohol is involved.
