| One of our favorite “small world” stories from this cruise. This is General George Patton’s “When and If”, now owned by Doug Hazlitt of Hazlitt Wineries in the Finger Lakes. We’ve been to both tasting rooms, most recently in Naples, NY, just “down the road” from our little place by the lake. In 1939, Patton said of his boat, “When the war is over and if I live through it, Bea and I are going to sail her around the world.” His dream was not realized, but Doug and his crew are hoping to do just that in 2017. They currently offer daysails, sunset sails, and private charters on this John G. Alden ship, built in 1939. |
