THE KETCH KONA 



close hauled in a strong wind and heavy 

 sea from Justias Key to Key West for 26 

 hours — 180 miles. After cruising among 

 the Keys she left for New York outside, 

 sailing 1,063 miles from Miami to New York 

 in 7 days, 18 hours, which is said to be a 

 record. 



In October, 1911, she left for Key West 

 and continued on to Cienfuegos, Cuba. We 

 cruised inside the reef along the south coast 

 and returned to New York. In July we 

 sailed for Dark Harbor, Maine, and later 

 made Halifax, Port-aux-Basques, and Bky 

 of Islands, Newfoundland, back to Port- 

 aux-Basques, across to Sydney, through the 

 Bras d'Or lakes, and returned to New York. 

 In 1912 she repeated her trip to Cien- 

 fuegos, Cuba, and return. 



In 1913 she sailed for Cuba again, going 

 as far as Cienfuegos, and returned to New 

 York, and in July made a voyage as far 

 east as Halifax, Nova Scotia, and back to 

 New York.
