93. AC Discovered: "This week on Discovered we see three AC72s training on the San Francisco Bay for the first time. We talk to designers about the evolution of the America's Cup yachts. Then we review the America's Cup World Series tour from the very first event in Cascais, Portugal to our finale in Naples, Italy."
David Crosby's Schooner Muse - WSJ.com: " . . . The 74-foot boat was named Mayan and was built in 1947 with Honduran mahogany. The cabins below can sleep eight, but six people is more ideal—four to keep watch and take turns manning the sails and two who can alternate cooking and cleaning. After I took possession, I had to learn how to sail it. I had never sailed anything larger than 8½ feet, and you need a good wheel-hand—that's me—and two good deckhands to handle the sails. So I made friends with lots of experienced sailors who wanted to sail on the boat, and they taught me everything I needed to know. Within a year, I decided to sail the boat to San Francisco and live on it full-time, until 1970. During that time I wrote many songs down below, including "Wooden Ships," "The Lee Shore," "Page 43" and "Carry Me." The Mayan has been a deep muse. . . ."
