Freshman Hopes To Cross Pacific

Anybody with a bank account and sailing experience can sail the Pacific next summer according to Brice Sumner '53, who plans to pilot a 35-foot sailboat from Nagoya, Japan, to San Francisco.

Sumner, who says his parents have approved of the plan, is looking for a two-man crew to make the trip and share expenses. He plans to have the boat built in Japan and sail the southern route, stopping at Guam, Wake, Midway, and the Hawaiian Islands on the way.
