Spring 2007 - Classic Yacht Magazine

Movies are a guilty pleasure for me. Boating is a
way of life for me. Being able to bridge the gap
between the two makes for an enjoyable two
hours every once in a while, be it at the local
multiplex, the comfort of my own couch or the
relaxing lounge chair on the aft deck. I am
learning that I can get lost at sea and still manage
to remember the important mile markers as
they pass by...even if I can’t remember where I
was when the Berlin wall came down.
So much for flashbulb memory.
