Boat: PDQ 32 LRC | Steven Stills song Southern Cross: "We got eighty feet of the waterline, nicely making way" Were they on a different boat? I can't find any evidence for this. Did he use artistic ? Probably. It is amusing that the Wiki article on CSN describes the Mayan as an 80' boat. |

Boat: Passport 47 CC | = 80 feet. Anyways, that has always been my theory. Every time I have heard that song, I wonder the same thing: What boat was that referring to? Truly an 80 footer? |

Boat: Monk 36 Trawler | " is a song written by Rick Curtis, Michael Curtis, and " I was surprised to read David Crosby did not sing or play an instument on the recording (Before reading this threadI would have bet a lot that he wrote and sang the song! maybe it saved me some money in the future) It is one of my all time favorites and included in my "boat selection" while I'm onboard. It is sad that he'll be giving her up, I guess that time will come for all of us. Steve |
