I gave a crewman from the Challenger a ride to town today and asked him what it was like to be out on the lakes in rough weather in a 100 year old ship. He replied that the captain is real good about putting the ship into a safe harbor if rough weather threatens but it's not always possible to find refuge in a storm.
