The Third Coast

• Jun. 8, 2008 - Regatta de Amigos Update (3)

Ciclon tied off today around 1530 in Port Isabel. Wet and tired, all gear was intact. They took a severe pounding, along with the rest of the fleet, and the commander made the decision to withdraw and make port for the benefit of his crew.

 

I gave the commander and his crew a ride home to Brownsville. Tomorrow or Tuesday they will deliver Davids 28 Ranger north, up the GICWW, on the inside all the way to Kemah, leaving Ciclon here.

 

Cynthia Woods missing crewman, Safety Officer Roger Stone was recovered from aboard the upturned vessel this afternoon. He died helping the other crew to safety. I did not know this man, but as mariners, he is a hero to all of us. A part of all of us is lost when the sea claims one of us.

 

It has been a sad and difficult day for all.

The Captains Profile:

Some men and women are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any scalawag who stands between them and unlimited power. You never met a man - or woman - you couldn't eviscerate. You are the definitive Man of Action, the CEO of the Seven Seas, Lee Iacocca in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. You’re mission-oriented, and if anyone gets in the way, that’s his problem, now isn’t? Your buckle was swashed long ago and you have never been so sure of anything as your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off his head if he shows any sign of taking you on or backing down. If one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.
