THE SECOND FIRST ENCOUNTER

Responding to Jo Hudson's passing, I feel obliged to share with you something of our 55-year, 9-multihull connection. This Caper tells of how we first men (for the second time), and continues with a glimpse of the "can-do" commitment and enthusiasm that typified the early California trimaran happening.

Eventually, I will attempt to describe my late friend himself, his person, his warts and his quest for beauty and adventure. I have now outlived about all of my early multihull contemporaries, and it makes me feel the need to share their stories with you.
