Cathy Hunt and David Evans

Cathy and David are very old friends. They have been sailing with CHARLIE during summer vacation. In fact, David was one of the crew that went from Port la Nouvelle in France all the way across the Mediterranean to Athens, where he left us. David had been a ship's cook and told me that "we would never eat a snack on CHARLIE while we sailed to Greece." Even at the crew changes at 3 AM, David would whip up a complete evening meal. David also was the chief navigator on that leg of the trip and once a storm in the Bouche de Bonifacio between Corsica and Sardinia forced us to change course and we did not have an appropriate sea chart, but only a Michelin road chart of Corsica. David used the chart and with a magical sort of clear sight, he navigated us safely into port.
