Ho!
Dick Wotruba '60 and his wife, Pat, spent four months last year sailing
their boat, "Crusader," through 3,000 nautical miles and stopping in at
26 ports of call! The Wotrubas departed Santa Barbara, Calif., in early
December 1998 and ventured to Cabo San Lucas, Puerta Vallarta, Mazatalan,
La Paz, and Mexico before returning home in March 1999. Wotruba reports
that since his arrival home the two questions he is most frequently asked
are, "Would you do it again?" and "Are you still married?" His answer to
both is an emphatic "Yes!"
"Transferring fuel in jerry cans on 20-foot
seas is even harder than it looks," Wotruba says. "Sailing is a life within a
life, and it requires constant support, patience, persistence, hard work, courage,
and a positive attitude. The capable sailor weathers the storms he cannot avoid
and tries to avoid the storms he cannot weather."
