This is a basic course for Adventurer follows path of Lindbergh on water By RICHARD H. LOWE Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Inspired by Charles Lindbergh and amazed no one had made the nautical equivalent of the Ix»ne Eagle’s historic New York to Paris voyage, Allen Cargile decided to pilot a single-engine boat across the Atlantic Ocean. “This was the 50th anniversa ry of Lindbergh’s flight to Paris,” Cargile, a Nashville boatbuilder, said in an inter view. “My goodness, he did it in a single-engine plane so I figured I could do it in a single engine boat.” The “Spirit of Nashville” left New York July 16 with a crew of four — Lindbergh, of course, was alone — but a freak storm forced it to dock in New foundland and one member dis embarked. The 30-foot cabin cruiser, propelled by a 130- horsepower engine, braved an other storm and bone-chilling temperatures and arrived in Paris Aug. 16, 4,500 nautical miles from the start.

He said his crew, Ed Gillespie and Bill Flanagan, stayed in good spirits despite close, leaking quarters. “Each member volunteered to cook the meals and take the watches,” Cargile said. “We worked together to conquer the ele ments.” Hamburger, steak and chick en stored in two freezers were cooked in a microwave oven. Water, 90 gallons of it, was stored in jerry cans so the crew could keep track of con sumption. “We ate all we wanted, but stayed trim because of the 15- degree roll and the constant wracking of trying to stay in bunks,” Cargile said.

The two-day layover in New foundland forced the boat into colder seas, however, where temperatures dropped into the 40s. Water couldn’t drain through the bilge because of the fuel tanks, and the cabin was soggy most of the voyage. “We all had wet feet most of the time," Cargile said. “We all had about an eighth of an inch of dead skin on our feet that mildewed off.” The skipper said the trip proved he wasn’t as crazy as people thought. “If you sit down and calculate the data and go to the trouble to load everything on board to check it, you can see it could be done. It was a simple thing that was laid out before me and I wondered why someone else hadn’t done it.” Parrish road area. HOUND-TYPE, one black and tan female from the Ellis road area.
