...after the Newport-Bermuda contest, Ondine was racing again, on a 3,700-mile course across the Atlantic to Travem¨unde, Germany-a voyage that will take most of a month. After that, it's off to the Pacific for two more long races. What makes Huey sail? Publicly, he talks like John Masefield. Privately he admits: "My only fun is winning...
