Goat,
Yes, it did seem like he wasn't too comfortable in this world. The woman, "Mary" was his wife and by his account, they had a very passionate but stormy marriage. I also tried to find info on the Electra trip but no luck. Someone guessed that he may have been
lost early on the trip off of
Mexico in a big
hurricane that passed at that time. The
boat was 22.5' and named "MF", for Mary and Frank. Keep an eye out, maybe someone down there salvaged her??? Another thing I've been trying to find on the
Internet to no avail, maybe you know...He made a video of the first Cape Horn trip and showed it around the the local yacht clubs, etc. Any idea who might have a copy? I'm sure a lot of local sailors around here would still like to see it.
