BOTY judges (and a couple others) can¿t pass up a good photo. The cast includes, from left, judges Roger Hellyar-Brook, Stacey Collins, Alvah Simon, and Tim Murphy, as well as Steve Callahan, Billy Black's assistant, Gretchen Thor (in the light blue hat), and Bill Springer (with his arms raised and oddly wearing sunglasses in the rain). Naturally, Billy Black is behind the camera.
The benefits of being a BOTY judge extend well beyond test sailing all the new boats at the show."The Roger Henry File" from our November 25, 2009, CW Reckonings.

After too many years away at sea, Diana and I enjoy a Simon family reunion. Apparently in Montana these are never conducted in the comfort of one's living room.
It's deep in the Montana back country that a sailor focuses on what defines himself and crew.

As sailors we learn to live simply yet well. A sail well stitched, a bag of rice, and a good spear gun saw me through the oceans of the world.
Lessons learned while circling the globe come home for the holidays. From "The Roger Henry" Files
