Sailing on Puma’s Mar Mostro with Captain Ken Read… During my trip to Abu Dhabi, I was given the opportunity (of a lifetime) to sail on Mar Mostro for the Volvo Ocean Race’s Pro-Am race day. As if that honor weren’t big enough, a few of us were also given the chance to take the helm. My favorite story from the afternoon goes something like this: photographer Liam Goslett asked Mar Mostro skipper Ken Read to hold his camera while he took the wheel of the 70 foot racing yacht. While doing so, Liam reminded Ken to please be careful with his beloved camera. Read agreed and then reminded Liam that he was currently driving his 6 million dollar boat.
Ha!
