Wasn't Alexa a trawler?

I thought Billy Joel was a powerboat guy, not a sailor--isn't his Alexa Ray a trawler?

Gordon Lightfoot...

...had a beautiful wood IOR boat in the late 70's or early 80's. But then, most of you wouldn't probably know who he is. Rick D.

Awww C'mon..

I have Gord's Gold right here on my iPod. He's in the same iPod genre category "singer songwriter" as John Denver, James Taylor (another sailor) and others.. Gord is great sometimes!

Don't Know Gordon Lightfoot?...

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is one of the best songs ever.

Geraldo Rivera ...

Is pretty well known for sailing the Newport-Bermuda race on a regular basis. I think he still has his boat at his estate on the Navesink in Red Bank. http://www.geraldo.com/v5/Biographical/The-Sailing-Book-continued.gr

Gen. Patton

Patton was a nut alright. BTW, Patton's hobbies were shooting, riding, playing polo and believe it or not sailing. He had a moderate sized yacht that he sailed on the east coast and another that he used to sail to Hawaii in 1935 or so when he was stationed there. From soemwhere.
