A surprising conclusion to a thrilling story. Much appreciated. I listened in at 1:30 AM, and I can’t wait to see my kids’ expressions when they hear the end of the story.
You told it well with enough details to make for a fun story without getting bogged down with too much information.
Thanks again, Ron.
Later!

Another fun story. Can’t wait to ask my Canadian
co-worker if he knows what the ‘Fisherman’s Cup’ or
who won it. He’s always zinging me with Canadian trivia…

I wish my high school teachers made history this interesting!

Thanks, John. I’m glad that you enjoyed the story. I have a firm belief that there is little difference between education and entertainment, and periodically I’ll try to tell a historical story like Bluenose. I actually know the next story that I want to tell, it just takes time to do the research!
