Heh. We’re going on a ride.
One of the more memorable voyages I took on my father’s Columbia 52 Victoria was through the streets of Los Angeles on the way from the boatyard in El Segundo to the launching in Marina del Rey. He was concerned that despite being given a special route, there might be low-hanging power lines that needed to be gingerly lifted up with notched 2×4’s so the boat could pass under them. He decided that he should make the trip on deck in case that became necessary.
At the last minute he consented to my request to join him in case flirting with electrocution required an extra set of hands. It turned out there were no power lines along the route that needed hoisting, but it was an exciting trip nevertheless.
I was 14.
