About BenJammin... BenJAMMIN is named after my grandson Benjamin who was born the same year the boat was purchased. Ben is 27 now but BenJAMMIN is actually 39. The crew ranges in age from 20 to 78. We spontaneously read a page out of Moby Dick during the race. The page is chosen by boat speed. Melville's words are often strangely appropriate. Looking forward to a great adventure.
