Here are some photos of the Silvretta, the yacht that I hitched a ride on and wrote about in “A True Love Story” published in Life Choices: Navigating Difficult Paths. Boat people will recognize that she’s a ketch – 75 foot long. Really a small ship. There was a crew of 9. I had my own cabin with a blue bathtub. Can you imagine how great that was after sleeping in a hammock in a grass hut for months with only salt water showers?
note: photos are from 1973, Pacific Coast of Central America
The Silvretta, 75 ft ketch
The British captain who gave me my break - and Tom, fellow crewman, at the wheel.
