Crazy stories indeed! Actually still have my super-tight, 3 sizes too small Sayonara tee shirt (actually, it's probably closer to 5-6 sizes too small now :). Kept it just to remind me that it wasn't really just a very strange dream. Let me know if you know of a way to get in touch. I'd love to connect, share stories and the few photos I have but I'm not sure the way to do that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748440893234415912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597960101841640668.post-61172819442946051932020-10-19T10:34:15.612-07:002020-10-19T10:34:15.612-07:00Wow what a great blog, i really enjoyed reading th...Wow what a great blog, i really enjoyed reading this, good luck in your work. <a href="https://yachtcharterspuertovallarta.com/" rel="nofollow">Puerto Vallarta Yachts</a><br />Micheal Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475927639200371365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597960101841640668.post-46852824450805672142020-10-13T00:08:41.562-07:002020-10-13T00:08:41.562-07:00Michel has written his book and published it on Am...Michel has written his book and published it on Amazon.<br /><br />LIVING OVER THE EDGE ADVENTURES BETWEEN RIFFS, STORMS, WOMAN AND PIRATES<br /><br />It documents his life with Sayonara Alpha based on his log books.<br />I get a couple of mentions in his book.<br /><br />I was aboard this magnificent yacht for over 16 months and his references to the time I was on board are very accurate based on my memory of my time there.<br /><br />Skippy...

She had just crossed the Atlantic in what the Captain said was a world record time. A wave had blown open a forward hatch during the crossing. Flooded an electrical panel and the Captain was looking for someone to repair it. Was a problem getting the right breakers if I recall correctly. He'd done the crossing with two crew. A mate named Jurgen I think was his name and a young lady. Long time ago, beautiful boat, never forgot it.Hatterashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02600061049448725289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597960101841640668.post-4044305253605902542020-04-02T01:50:54.289-07:002020-04-02T01:50:54.289-07:00Sayonara Alpha is gone.

We were based in Martinique. We all worked in the drydock to paint the hull and improvise a patchwork of over way overdue repairs. The boat went up for sale later that year and the owner Michel eventually left, presumably coinciding with the change in ownership. A French skipper came to bring the boat back to France. I elected not to do the transatlantic.<br />The boat was in pretty tough shape, esp. the electrical and engines. Life on the boat was substantively dysfunctional. She was a joy to sail though - a thing of beauty a 20 knot breeze, and we all stayed for that.<br />There is an article in Neptune Yachting about Sayonara written back in her better days. <br />It's a shame no-one stepped up to restore her. She was one of a kind.
