And the Valgerda that "sank". <br /><br />You must read closely for the finer details.<br /><br />The confusion comes from the fact that there are no pictures of the yawlboat. Brandon was suppose to supply those, but his camera got wet.dorymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077373149267825091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-14283336697045887032011-04-27T19:10:50.928-07:002011-04-27T19:10:50.928-07:00OK, I was going to ask if the proper spelling isn&...OK, I was going to ask if the proper spelling isn't <i>wary yawlboat</i>.<br /><br />Then I realized the boat you were sailing was a <i>Valgerda</i>, whatever that is.
