Favorite Tabor Boy moment

In 1993 after coming out of the Panama Canal we had some very rough seas- basically everyone was sick. My watch was 12-4am and 12-4pm. Isaac Taylor and I were at the helm and we were both clipped in trying to keep things steady while feeling rather ill. Isaac literally fed me saltines while I was at the wheel. As the sun came up it was glorious- we made it! Good times!!
