“I’m Going Down!”

When Heather sees something she wants, she makes sure she gets it.

Heather ‘I’ll never do retail again, not even at the Monterey Bay Aquarium’ Cosario sort of looks like she’s dumpster diving. In reality, the 22-year-old, who is cruising Mexico with David Addleman aboard his Monterey Bay-based Cal 36 Eupsychia, is seen going down for ice cream while crewing on Wayne Hendryx and Carol Baggerly’s Brisbane-based Hughes 45 Capricorn Cat. Blair Grinols, the boat’s builder and original owner, was an ice cream freak, so he made the freezer super efficient and deep. Cosario just wants other boatbuilders to understand the problems when freezers are too deep.

Heather, in a position more normal for humans, poses with David in La Cruz, Mexico.

    Hi there! I’m Blair Grinols granddaughter and spent some of the best times of my life on The Capricorn Cat. I’d love to know who owns the catamaran now and where it is located. Please email me at [email protected] if you have any info! Thank you, this is dear to my heart. All at sea.

Javier de Muns, our man in Brittany with his finger on the pulse of solo around the world racers, filed this report: "Last Monday’s weather window, with 40 to 50 knots wind, big seas, and an air temperature of 30 degrees seemed to have done the trick for Thomas Coville  and his 105-ft trimaran Sodebo, as they are already in the warmer latitudes of the Canary Islands, having averaged 20 knots since the start.
The day after Christmas (December 26) means the shopping is a faint memory, the presents are opened, the house is a mess and you’re ready for a little sailing ‘content’ in your life.
