We can't let the As Shelly passed through the Royal February. It was important that they all pitch in in getting the boat ready," Shatkin said. Although Shelly was not on board during the race, she was considered a vital mem­ ber of the crew. She planned the meetings, organized the details of the trip, conducted research, prepared meals ahead of time and checked into everything that the crew would need for the 115 hours that it took them to complete the race. " A large number of people do it for kicks and don 't care whether they win or not-it mattered to us," Shatkin said. It also mattered to the people who sup­ ported the crew and the race back in Marion at the Beverly YC and the Blue Water Sailing Club, which sponsored the event with the Dinghy Club. Looking Back - Moving Forward After almost three months since the race, it still matters. Shatkin talks about the details so vividly that it seems as if he CO[!!pleted the race just yesterday. Because of the publicity and his involve­ ment with sailing, Shatkin has "developed -a lot of patients who are sailors." Both he and Shelly, who is the office manager for Shatkin's practice, expect that new patients will be calling on the dentist/sailor as a result of the publicity. "Some people at the Yacht Club will say they are looking for a dentist and there's always room for one more," Shelly says. Outside of the office, Shatkin and his wife spend their leisure time - where else - but on the Edelweiss docked at Bullocks Point Marina . Although Shatkin says he has no plans to enter any competitions in the near future, that sounds like a familiar decision made prior to the Marion to Ber­ muda race. Shatkin is a member of the Narragansett Yacht Club and chose this particular one to join because "it is low key and integrated," he says. Unlike his grandmother, Shatkin tries not to think in terms of stereotypes and although he didn 't name the boat, Edelweiss to him is a symbol of minorities THE VICTORS: Somewhat bedraggled after running for hours on end of sheer adrenalin, the sailors of the Edelweiss manage, and resistance.
