Voyage of a 57-foot yaw across gales and calm
Boake Carter recalls six days at sea with seven men aboard a fifty seven foot yaw. The voyage from Montauk Point to Gibson Island includes two gales nearly fifteen hours of calm, a white knuckled squall off the Maryland coast, and an arduous 470 mile return. He confesses seasickness and sleepless days while reflecting on humbling perspective and the insignificance of grand political figures in the face of nature.
