  1. Remind us who Peter and Wendy are?

    Was their son Will sailing alone?

    Did you know he would be there?

    1. Reminder, Peter and Wendy were on s/v Henry, they are from the UK. They share the boat with their son Will, who is a captain on ships in the Arctic and Antarctic also a pilot on icebreakers. Yes, he was sailing alone, I believe a friend was going to join him. Peter and Wendy flew home for their daughter’s wedding. Will came back to boat. I believe, his mom and dad will join him in September or October.
