I know I have a baby face . I'm 72 now and just beginning to show my age. at the time you mention I was in my early 40's. Thanks for the compliment anyway. My most notable esperince concerning my "Baby Face" was way back when the legal dinking age in NY was 18. (l957) I was 28 years old, wearing my Air Force Uniform T/Sgt stripes and all. I was Chief Air Traffic Controller at Sufolk County Air Force Base. I was in a bar with my kid brother , barely 18 at the time. The waitress asked for my identification and not my brothers. AAh those were the good old days.

When we meet someday, (hopefully) we can talk about "going to windward" suffice it to say, "Rose" does 45 degrees any time she wants to. My miniature (22 ft) full rigged ship "William K Covell" could do 40 under optimum conditions. If I can figure out how to send photographs over this machine I'll send you a picture of "William K" I "ship rigged" an "International Tempest" (The O'Day semi-planing keelboat that they use in the Olympics) and single handed it (after I got jammed under the "Goat Island Causeway" a few times working out how to do it)
