Correct. There were no medical emergencies. The boat was afloat and not
leaking. It had propulsion and it had steerage. If assistance had not
arrived, the first dire issue they might have faced was running out of drinking
water. The second might have been running out of food. Once the
Folks, if you're thinking about heading offshore, I know Martin has lots of
miles and I've logged nearly half a million miles, and there are a few
others here. He's a good one to answer questions and I'm happy to help with
advice (when I'm not offshore).

Thanks for sharing, Randy. As we are seeking our offshore boat, there are
lots of lessons to be learned from this story, but the opening sentences
would have had enough red flags to send me running from this boat!

Listers,
Here’s an overdue report on this situation. Basically a tale of warning about
what can go wrong offshore, with potentially very serious consequences.
By coincidence a few weeks ago I came into contact on Facebook with one of
Calypso’s crew, a retired pediatrician. We subsequently
Any thoughts I had about becoming a delivery skipper as a retirement “career”

Best of luck Randy on the remainder of the voyage and keeping fingers crossed
for Calypso.

Thank you Dennis and all who replied. I just got a cell signal off Tortola,
about 25nm ahead.
As of this morning Calypso was some 200nm astern of us; we’re heading 214M to
the western tip of Jost. In addition to her previous troubles (broken
forestay, wrapped prop, etc.) now apparently her
Chuck is correct.
I'm assuming that the 121 Calypso is the one making 5 knots trailing the

Joe,
Randy’s boat Grenadine is on the hard in Colorado for the season. Randy is on
a delivery on a different boat. The delivery skipper’s friend is sailing
Calypso which lost its headstay. At least that’s what I read into this.

No Grenadine shows up, but two Calypsos do. One is making 5 knots and the other
is in Marsh Harbor.
