Thread Name: Tune/CHORDS: Harbo and Samuelson...?
Subject: RE: Tune Req: harbo & samuelson
I seem to remember being in a bookstore not too long ago (probably in an airport) and noticing a book about the journey of Harbo and Samuelson. Apparently there was an attempt to put the boat on tour afterward but it was a flop. As I recall from skimming the book, neither of the men profited very much from their arduous adventure. It was also interesting to see that the boat was named "Fox" because that was the name of the man who put up the prize. Anybody know anything else about the story? Next time I'll buy the book!

Aloha,
Mark
