    This is one of the best written, heartfelt, and purposeful survivor stories I've read. If this sailor is representative of the team, it only magnifies the loss:

    Very moving and eloquent writing.
    It's the first time I have read JFK's speech at the Americas Cup, something to remember.
    Thanks for the post.

    Lots of lessons to be learned from that tragedy, even for those of us who float the waters on power boats. IMO the most important of the lessons is how quickly things can turn bad, and how, if we're not prepared, things can turn very bad.

    Thanks for posting that link.
