His 36 day passage from Honclulu _to Victoria’s Inner Harbour was a masterpiece of navigation since the yacht’s compass broke down én route. However, Captain Tiefenhoff still lost a race be- gun many months ago in the languid waters of the West In- dies. This. reporter and he mei up in the same West Indian anchor- age of Carlisle Bay, the Island of Bartados. Upon establishing the fact that Alte Liebe and the writer's sailboat Powindah were boul for the same destination, namely Victoria, it was decided to make a race of it. “Pin going up the West Coast of North America,’’ said Capt. Tiefenhoff. ‘Haven’t the time to go cruising about the South Seas. I must get back ta Van- couver and a job I have waiting there for me.’" “Fine. A bottle of ‘rum says Powindah beats you.’ “Pil enjoy drinking it,?? said the intrepid German. ' We are going by way of the Society Islands and Honolulu, it may be. a good deal longer in miles but it's better than beat- ing up the coast against head winds. Or at least my Mate says so.” "Since your mate is your wife, I hope she brings you as much bad luck as women are supposed to at sea... .aufwiedersehn.”’ From that date until this Mon- day, nothing more was heatd of Captain Tiefenhoff or his brave ship. Since Powindah had ar- 'ftived home in these waters on May 15 the subject of her rivals whereabouts was hecoming one of increasing concern, For if she had foundered the bottle of ‘Nelson's Medicine’ could hardly have been collected, Captain Tiefenhoff reported to The Review that after departing Barbados and making an enjoy- 4 “y able passage to Jamaica, single- . handed, he met with a charming Getman girl by the name of Moniko Passmann. Realizing that an extra hand on board might improve his chances of winning the race he signed the oe ‘\ CAPTAIN WINSRIED TIEFENHOFF lass aboard, They transited the Panama Ca- nal and put out into the Pacific. bound for Mexico. Forty-five days later ‘they made their landfall. Fortunately, for this reporter, they experienced engine trouble along the Mexican coast and de- cided to give up their plan of sailing due North against pre< vailing winds. Instead course was laid for Honolulu. ‘It. was a hell of a passage,’ said the German skipper. "it took us 65 days. Not until we were two days out of Honolulu was there any real wind.’’ Then Moniko signed off and flew to Vancouver to await the yacht’s eventual arrival in thése waters. Another German na- tional joined the boat, Hans Firtlus, and togethet he and Cap- tain Tiefenhe!t stood watch on ahd watch off acfoss some 3,000 miles of Ocean. faa a , mo et WPeds ae a, ~NEW APARTMENT .
