Sailing Around the Horn
Rick’s grandfather sailed around the Horn on a windjammer in 1905. It was the roughest year in recorded history, and took the crew 90 days to accomplish the task. The mast broke, sails ripped, and they had to make numerous slips into the coast to make repairs before trying again. Grandpa went to sea at ten years of age, and became a professional sailor at fourteen. He was small in stature, but had a lion’s heart. When ropes tangled in the rigging, they sent Klaus up to get things right.
