Crossing Oceans in Company
From Yacht Club Cruising to Ocean Crossings By Daria Blackwell Humans are interesting creatures. There are those who get a notion and immediately pursue it – risks and obstacles notwithstanding. Matt Rutherford and all those who were first to attempt a feat fall into that category. Take Saint Brendan, Leif Erikson, and Columbus – each having crossed the Atlantic to “discover” the Americas when there was nothing known or recorded about crossing oceans. That took a great deal of courage. Or density. Or destiny.
