...time of the truck drivers' strike before the coup, Rauch had asked a group of truckers who were enjoying a hearty barbecue on the tailgate of one of the vehicles blocking the road leading into Santiago just where they had got the money for such a feast. "From the CIA," was the laconic reply, and the incident was included in our Sept. 24, 1973 story. What seemed like a joke then has since turned out to be more than that.

Spirits soared-and fell-as seven ships maddeningly passed within one or two miles without sighting the Baileys. Future transoceanic yachtspersons who think that waving a shirt attracts nautical attention will be sobered by the Baileys' experience. Sharks kept bumping the bottom of the raft, whether in hopes of turning it over or simply scratching their backs the Baileys could never decide...
