    Default Got to ride on a some historic boats...


    Met Colin Percy, the owner of several 12 meter America's Cup class sailing boats. Didn't know it was him at the time, surprised me when I did some 12 meter research and seen his picture. Not what you'd expect out of someone with his level of wealth... not that there is something to be expected....

    He had a real passion for sharing the experience of sailing those girls around the bay off Philipsburg, St. Martin.

    We were on True North IV (Ivy), racing and beat by Stars and Strips '87, third went to Canada II '87....

    The best way to get to where you want to be in the future is to act like you are there TODAY.
