Your name Hi Tor, I came upon your name while trying to find an
out-of-print book about the Pinney's in the Carribean. Thought I would
just drop you a line as long as I was visiting. I know geneology isn't
everyone's "cup of tea" but if you have any knowlege at all of
your geneology I would be most interested in knowing whatever you can
provide of your ancestors. My Great-Grandparents were John & Dinah
Pinney who came over from England in the early 1800s. My grandfather was
Walter Pinney, one of 9 children. My family is extensive and close here
in rural, central NYS. I haven't read up on your adventures yet but will
do so after this note. I look forward to hearing from you. Best Regards,
Linda Marie (Pinney)Weckworth

Enjoyed your stories I believe I first came to your page several
months looking for sailing stories, starting at Altavista's Sailing and
Boating category. I don't think your page was directly listed (I can't
remember for sure) but that I jumped to it from one of the pages that
was, among the first 50 links. I thoroughly enjoyed your sailing
stories, especially the ship of fools one and the one where you met
Tristan Jones. Having heard that name from several sources, including
you, I picked up and read about 4 or 5 Tristan Jones books in the last
two months. Truly amazing stuff! I envy your good fortune at having met
this adventurer and liver of life. I sail a 1970 23' SouthCoast in
Biscayne Bay. I have not yet ventured far (bay,ICW,Hallandale to Eliot),
but dream about it constantly. Stories like yours help stoke my
daydreams of cruising. So, Thanks again.

best email addresses at this time are: tor@tor.cc tor@AnchorYachts.com
If neither of these work, there's probably something wrong at your end.

The net Tor , you asked how we stay on the net/ Well the easiest is
to log on while at a marina via the land line . whilst at sea or at a
remote location we use a comsat systym we bought while in the uk . It
relays a phone/radio signal to a central reciever and routes email &
voicemail etc .You have to make sure your outgoings are ready to send as
it can be a little expensive if your "futzing" around. But
along with the weatherfax and the gps it can all be combined . Ah..
modern science and the wind in your sails and a g&t ..It don't get
ay better.............

Just to say hello Hey Tor--I was just cruising the net and ran across
your name. Good to see you among the living. Glad to see you're still in
the boat business since you're one of the finest yacht brokers around.
I've always got a place for you to stay in Miami so make sure to stop by
and say hello next time you're back around your old stomping grounds.
Been thinking about getting another Flika or Dania. Keep that in mind.

How I got here... I used the "HOTBOT" search engine to find
your homepage. Then I "surfed" the links. Fantastic site!
Great to "catch-up" on what's happening in your life. Wish you
the very best in your new "adventure." LOVED your photos,
especially the lead one on your page 4, the 3-generations! My favorite
link, of course, is to "SON OF A DAUGHTER OF A SAILOR."
(B-T-Y, your link has the wrong slash \\ and should be /. My screen
shows me what the link is, and I figured all the other slaches were /,
so the one \\ needed to be fixed.) "Hilsen" fra Fort
Lauderdale... Dave C.

The old days How did I find your site? It's a long story, and nowhere
near as fascinating as yours. I have no idea if you remember me, but I'm
from Larchmont, too. I was in Roy's class at MHS and was among the many
Dolphins fans who congregated at your house to watch rehearsals.
"Surfing East Coast" has stayed with me and somewhere in my
house is a cassette copy of the song. When I moved to California 20
years ago I wote a treatment for a screenplay based loosely on the
band...a high school group that stumbled onto a hit record in the early
'60s and fell apart when they went their separate ways. Some
agent/producer types were fascinated by the story but couldn't imagine a
studio making it. Fast forward a couple of decades and out comes 'That
Thing You Do,' and I've been kicking myself for not pushing harder. When
that movie came out, I couldn't help but think of the Dolphins again. So
one day, while surfing (the net, this time), I found your home page
which is utterly fas

How I Got Here From There Tor Really enjoyed your stories and advice
(read them all). Done some deliveries myself. Been through Force 11 in
the Stream on a 37' ketch; made some of the same novice mistakes a
decade ago. Still keeping the water out and the people in... Anyway,
here's my path to your door: Caught a recent BBS post re: Captain John
Rains having a homepage and, having read his book 'Passagemaker's
Handbook', thought I'd try to find it. Used NorthernLight.com search
engine (highly recommend it-slow but does excellent job of sorting into
folders according to subject) and search phrase "Captain John Rains
yacht delivery". That yielded a link to your story about delivery
prep. Not finding any links, but remembering from the pages of Cruising
World that you were one of my favorite authors, I did a search using
your name, which yielded your homepage as #4 listing. I guess the key
words were "yacht delivery". When you get your hiking boots
and cowboy hat off and you

Sea stories Great sea stories cap! Nobody loves a good sea story more
than me. You're lucky you have a forum. Whenever I try and tell my sea
stories, my children spit their food at me and call me an
"eco-terrorist". By the way, I'd omit that part about about
spilling your coffee. The E.P.A. seems to be unusually pre-occupied with
what goes "by the board" if you know what I mean. Happy

a great page. I have been sailing since I was 9 years old. Mostly
Hobie's and day sailors. I love sailing, my Dad thinks it's because of
my portugese heritage...many fine portugese sailors in world history!
Take care. Dee

sailing found your page through the site, http:\\ www.askjeeeves.com
after asking it about find information on sailing. I used to sail a tiny
boat with my brother when we were children. I live in a sailing area in
NC now and am fantasizing about affording a boat, not bloody likely on
my teacher's salary, but it's interesting to read about other folks
adventures, plan to see if our library has your book about outfitting a
boat. It'll be interesting reading even if I don't ever have a boat of
my own. :-)
