I don't know if my spelling or my typing is worse. When I got to Falmouth England on my first trans-atlantic the town put out the red carpet and the Lord Mayor had a reception at Town Hall. I signed the towns guest book. After 59 days at sea in a 22' Sea Sprite I was made to feel very welcome and enjoyed the press coverage of my landing. At the time I think that my crossing was by the youngest person to single-hand it. Bob Manry's name had come up in some of the press interviews that I did, so the Mayor made it a point to show me where Bob had signed the book after his trip in his 13' Old Town named Tinkerbelle. I had the Mayor sign my copy of Bob's book, Tinkerbelle. That book was destroyed when I rolled my Chance 30-30 over in a storm some years later when I was 550 miles east of Puerto Rico.
