Seasoned Seaman Saves Sailor
A man was dragged behind his 25-foot sailboat in 45-degree ocean
water for half an hour last Easter before N. Douglas MacLeod '44 and
his family spotted the sailboat's empty cockpit from MacLeod's
daughter's home near Providence, R.I.
A gust blowing northeast from land out to sea hit the sailboat, lay it
over and tossed the man over the side, the jib sheet wrapped around his
wrist. MacLeod family members on shore ran to the water to throw him
a rope, but the sail caught the wind and the boat blew farther from
shore.
