Once they figured out what yachting was about, the newsmen still had to cope with the sea. They gulped Dramamine pills, borrowed folding chairs from a local funeral home, and perched their typewriters on anything handy-including loaded depth-charge cans-aboard a flotilla of seven Coast Guard boats.
