Here's kind of a cool story. This guy, Bill Dunlop, set sail in a 9ft sailboat from Portland. He left from the pier where the floating restaurant above is docked. He asked me to help him load his boat with food and drinks. What he had me do is take all his canned food and dip it in hot paraffin. That way nothing would spoil. He used 2 liter plastic bottles of Coke and Mountain Dew for ballast. When he finished drinking the bottle, he'd fill it with sea water and put it back. Nobody thought he had a chance in hell of making it, but he did. Later, he tried to sale that 9ft boat around the world. He went missing after making it to Austrailia. Bondi was probably to young to remember it, but it was quite a story for a while. This guy had some major cojones to even attempt it. He told me that he had his boat built so it would do barrel-rolls off the top of the waves he was expecting. He said on a 40-50 foot wave it would flip over about a dozen times.
Sailor Trying to Cross Atlantic in Small Boat
After a sendoff under grey skies, Bill Dunlop spent his first day at sea today in a nine-foot sailboat, heading across the Atlantic.
He is seeking a record for the smallest boat used in a solo Atlantic crossing.
The Wind's Will left a Portland Harbor marina Sunday as 20 large and small vessels tooted horns in salute.
Mr. Dunlop, 40 years old, of Mechanic Falls, Me., said he expects to reach Falmouth, England, in eight to 12 weeks. In 1980, Mr. Dunlop crossed the ocean in a 35-foot sailboat.
His boat is filled with food, survival equipment, extra sails, rope tools and reading matter. Mr. Dunlop's sailboat has a fiber glass hull, and a $16 sextant for navigation. He has a radio, but no backup engine.
Remember this guy? He used to live next door to where I'm living now. I don't know him but it seems most of my neighbors do.

He looks like a mix among robert downy junior, billy joel, and some girl whose name I can't think of.
he looks like a guy I went to school with.

His name is Judd Nelson. Last thing I can think of that he did was some show with Brooke Sheilds. He played her boss.
I didn' t know he was in anything after Breakfast Club. Oh yeah, he played a voice in the Transformers movie.

How did dipping canned food in wax prevent it from spoiling? Did it just keep the cans from rusting/corroding from the sea water?

balls of steel, man. It's great that he's only using a sextant. True craftsman, he is.

All the other "sailors" at the marina would always criticize him(or worse, talk behind his back) after he got thru explaining some technique or idea he was going to use on his solo cruise. They didn't think he could find England by just using "dead reckoning". They were wrong, he knew more about sailing then all the rest of them put together.
