Mike Williams: He’s a big studdly type that spends most of his time playing with elementary kids. You see he’s a part-time school principal and full time sailing bum.

Bill Schneider: He’s the bearded salty looking type. Bill had a little trouble getting all his fingers to wave. Seems like every time he waved to me he could only muster up one finger, the middle one.

Ralph Heinze: Now Ralph is one of those over educated under paid types. We really had to keep an eye on Ralph, he tended to go postal (homicidal) when there was no wind.

Jim Oud: What can I say about him. He was MR. Hi-Tech. He brought all kinds of gadgets along. The one thing that really worried us about Jim is he seemed to have this fetish about duct tape. I mean every time something was to be fixed Jim was there with a role of duct tape in hand and this big eyed grin on his face.

Dave Amundson: And of course there was myself. The skipper of this expedition. Tall dark and handsome. I was the level headed one of the bunch. Always in control. OK, OK, I was the one that happen to go in hock for the boat, and never received any respect.
