Crossing an Ocean in a Seawind 24 - articles

After publishing my last post on crossing an ocean in a Seawind 24, I received a surprise email from the guy who sailed that Seawind 24 catamaran from San Francisco to the South Pacific. Mihaly Kun very kindly sent me a copy of all the articles. They were written by Mihaly and his wife Judy and are absolutely riveting. I have great respect for this little boat after the bit of sailing I have done but these guys have tested a Seawind 24 to new heights. Well done Mihaly and Judy and lets not forget young Jeremy and Joshua. Thank you for a great story! I had these articles linked online but they are no longer available so if you would like a copy please email me; eezikapeezi(at)Hotmail.com.

The story may leave you wondering what happened to Jeremy. Except for total loss of memory from before the accident he recovered completely and has done exceptionally well and is currently doing a PhD in math and computer science (his blog - http://jeremykun.com/). Joshua has also gone on to do great things; a documentary film maker  (http://www.oakhousefilms.com/).

Next: Hanging up our sails for a while..........

  1. Hi again...I'm thrilled to bits that you took the time to post up the stories...I'm half way through them...

    While your deciding to hang up the sails to dry, It's just starting to warm up this side of the globe...Your stories and articles have inspired me to re kindle the sailing bug...I tried to get out past the passage but the waters over the sand bar were driven hard by the winds...It's said to be one of the most dangerous bars to cross in this country...

    Thanks to your encouragements via your blog I will win...eventually...

    So, hang up your sails for the winter. You did well ...another flame is lit again and burning brightly, just over the horizon.

    Thanks.
