Our friend Noam Gans and his wife Dalit skippered a 42 foot Cat from the Caribbean to Portugal, arriving at the end of a 3950 mile ourney just a few days ago. The story is well told at Hitchhikers Guide to the Atlantic. This video - chased by a whale - was on the last leg, from the Azores to Portugal. I particularly enjoyed it because I have just finished Stove by a Whale - Owen Chase and the Essex. That, of course, ended very badly with resort to cannibalism on the skipper's whale boat. - gwc
