Re: [Paddlewise] Steve Sinclair story

Thanks for the link Mark. I doubt there will ever be another Steve Sinclair. 
One in a million - make that one in a billion.

I think it was Outside Magazine maybe that ran a article on him a few years 
back. I'll never forget the description the writer gave of Steve out in deep 
water/enormous swell/big seas, pulling alongside an open-water sailing 
vessel and the reaction of the skipper when Steve screamed "Hello!"

Well, I've been having fun in the ER again, battling post-surgery 
fibrillation. Feels like one long storm some days. Just gotta remember my 
main motto for getting through rough water - relax those butt cheeks, don't 
panic, and stay positive - it's the only way to get back safely to shore.
