We’re planning a sailing trip from NY to Maine early this summer. I know we’ll eat well!

Your screen name reminded me of a story about the musician, Simon Le Bon from the band, Duran Duran. He owned an ocean racing yacht that he was sailing in the Fastnet Rock Race in England when the keel fell off the boat. The yacht flipped over and they had to be rescued by Royal Navy helicopter crews. Le Bon had the boat repaired and later sailed it in the circumnavigating Whitbread Race where they came in third.

The boat’s name: Drum.
