The Rag of Rags for those buying or selling a boat!
by Paul Kamen
A True story that teaches us all about our responsibilities
aboard ship, (regardless as to whether we are the captain,
or the deck hand!) This particular boat was one of only 21
irreplaceable 32' wood hull ships left of the original fleet.
The first circumnavigation of the globe was led by Ferdinand Magellan, sadly however he did not survive the journey. A short trip thought to be several day's turned into 4 months on the sea.
