...Israelis were also becoming aggressive about details. They insisted that the cease-fire line at Suez went right down the middle of the canal, and were ready to drop their little patrol boats into the water to establish legal precedent for the later passage of bigger Israeli shipping. The Egyptians, who insist that the cease-fire line is on the east bank, captured one boat, warned that any others put into the canal would be blasted out of the water.

At the helm of Intrepid, he ran off a string of five straight victories, including a 3-min. 46-sec. trouncing of Pat Dougan's refurbished Columbia - the boat that was expected to give Intrepid its stiffest battle for the right to defend the cup against Australia's Dame Pattie in September...

And so back to the stadium they went, but this time they got a break-they only had to do the steps 25 times...
