Favorite Tabor Boy moment

Many favorite moments: Falling in love with a beautiful blonde before our departure from Marion (while Tabor Boy was being repared in Fairhaven) - I still remember her name..., discovering Marion and the bay, siling a Laser in the bay, scuba diving in Bermuda (had never done it before), watching the sun rise and set each day (was on the 4:00 to 8:00 a.m. watch which is the best), climbing up the rig and sitting up there on the small platform, finding conchs in Frozen Key (Bahamas), watching Harry Cox's undersea video at the Bermudiana Hotel (Bermuda), holding the wheel endlessly, approaching San Salvador Island around 5:00 a.m. and waiting for the sun to rise (the approach was difficult and they let me at the wheel), eating great food, etc, etc, etc
