David dortch Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted March 14, 2020 Hi all, I've been around ships all my life it seems but don't really know how to sail a sail boat!! I've been a crewman only. I was on a Baltimore Schooner, The Pilgrim of Newport for years with Dennis Holland. She was my girl. Also crewed on the Golden Hind out of England while she was on a world tour. Me and a fellow crew member were invitee to sail from San Pedro CA to San Francisco. Lots of fun sailing with a english crew. mtaylor and Edwardkenway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
