"because I had been out an hour in the waves, I should have paid some
attention to the spreaders. In hindsight, I now have a suspicion that
the
port spreader cross tree was slipping a little with all the tossing
about that day. For no sooner had I got an eighth of a mile out and
suddenly with a gunshot like crack, the mast was suddenly swept away
right off the deck!" Read the rest at http://sailingwithalbie.blogspot.com

This is what!
"Dear Jessica,
It's difficult to send you this e-mail but I think it's probably the right thing to do. At least I hope so.
But, anyway, this is what you'd probably hear from them if you tried to tell them about a trip to Florida to go sailing with some old guy about the age of your father.
"You're thinking seriously of going to Florida to sail with WHO? And, he's 63 years old? And you've only talked to him on the Internet? What, are you thinking? Why would you want to do something like that?" And, so on and so forth.
Well, that's OK. I also felt something profound communicating with you on Usenet and it seemed so simple and joyful just sharing thoughts. And I felt love. You and I are kindred spirits and it's too bad about the great age difference. If you were to come for a sail, I think I know what the result will be. You would be disappointed because I'm too old and I would end up frustrated because you're too young and we'd probably both be unhappy with the situation. I don't see much chance for any other realistic outcome, do you?"
