I gave this subject some thought before my leg from the Vineyard to
New Bedford.  I chose to wear my late grandfather's train conductor
hat, which he always wore when sailing.  I also packed a sea bag that
I acquired as a deck hand aboard the J-Class yacht Endeavour.  I was
fortunate enough to land that summer job in 1990 when I was 16.  It
was my first time away from home, and as it happens, my first sail was
from Newport to New Bedford harbor where Endeavour spent a few nights
hauled out at Fairhaven shipyard, not far from where the Morgan spent
her last years before moving over to Round Hill in South Dartmouth.
