Well it's too bad about the "Pride", rotten thing to happen to any ship.
I haven't got a boat yet but if wait a couple of decades I plan to build
a trimaran rigged out like a top sail schooner. Then I'll retire. :-)
Ob. BC note: This last weekend I took a trip to Chicago and back in a '74
MGBGT with a rotten radiator. I took extra water but except for about a
quart used to top it off after replacing a heater hose, I never used any
water. However the Surburan with the dead water pump used it up on the way
to Chicago and a Mazda used it up on the way back to Fargo. The MG never
got hot and still had water in the top tank after 670 miles. Always makes
me feel good to stop in my 17 year old car to help out these new ones. :-)
