Song information
This is our second offering of Goodwillys' tunes from the past.

In June of 2001, along with Randy Hoefling (former owner), I set sail on my sloop from WPB, FL for the last time to deliver the boat to its new owner in New York. The second night out we hit a storm about 75 miles off the coast of Georgia. It started about 2:00 AM and lasted for several hours. My watch was just ending. Randy was taking over at the tiller as winds reached 40-50 knots and the waves peaked in the 20 foot range. The wind, coming out of the north, caused the waves to stack up as we were in the Gulf Stream which flows south to north. Not fun... I found myself wondering at one moment "is this how it's suppose to end." Randy was the master sailor on board and we're both alive today because of his skill, a very worthy ocean-going vessel, and the mercy of God.
