Tribute to a Cat, by Bob Carus
The story of a longtime "hard-core" fisherman, who’s dreams came true when he puchased a 36' Kevlacat. On his previous ‘monosaur,’ this trip to Magdalena Bay would have been a nightmare, but his new catamaran stood up to the harsh and heavy seas. In Bob’s own words "I know for a fact that I will never set foot on a monohull."
