did you see Adelie in the 70s/early 80s? I think he upgraded to a bigger one around 1980 or 81 maybe? no, the previous owner thinks it was around 78 or 79, i just checked.

I actually chatted a few times w the guy i mentioned above who sold John his second boat. The Challenge. he said he'd just made the decision to sell it, and had it docked in marina del rey for not too long and one day john approached him with a few friends to ask about it. the guy sold it to him under the prerequisite that he'd teach him how to sail it, because it was larger than Adelie, and john agreed. so this guy got to spend a lot of time w the mac (and sampled all their accompanying substances and party aids lol) on that boat. he said he met all the members of the group because they were all on that boat at some point or another partying together. didn't have too many specific memories, since the events never began without some serious drugs lol. but he went w john around newport beach, and to hawaii. he was like a pirate lol, i think he was australian. interesting character.

Nothing says safety like doing a pile of coke before learning!

And I am sure there was plenty of booze too. The perfect high is 2 copious lines and a glass of booze. So I heard.

OMG you guys are killing me with these comments It was quite a time, back in those days, with everybody doing so much naughty stuff. I guess somehow, by some miracle, john learned how to sail the bigger boat lol

I still have a friend who drags me back into the 1980's, every couple of months. I might partake for an evening(because it's free), but I don't miss those days very much. Brown liquor(and red wine) is my jam these days.

We need the whale's side of the story to know for sure. With the amount of drinking happened on that boat its quite possible John ran into the whale rather than the other way around.

I suspect the whale was angry because he (or she) was thirsty and wasn't invited.

Another whale referred to Old Goatsy as the lead singer of FM.
