Down To Sao in Quips Victor Borge Entertains Reporters In Private Cruise on Potomac River By DICK WEST Washington -OIWu In addi tion to being a comedian, pi anist and poultry farmer, Victor Borge has in recent years become a yacht man. He has his 68 f o 0 1 sailing vessel at an chorage here this week while playing an engage- weit ment at the Carter Barron Amphitheater. And the other afternoon he took a group of us reporters on a cruise down the Potomac. A stiff wind was blowing across the river as we pulled away from the dock. Borge obviously was impressed by the towering greycaps. The Potomac is too dirty to have whitecaps. "My!" he exclaimed. "Look at the angry sewerage!" "How big is your yacht, Mr. Borge?" someone asked. "It's two-masted," Borge re plied. "Or three, if you count my son." "What is the top speed?" another reporter inquired. "The speed is the same on top as it is on the bottom," Borge said. A luncheon, featuring dishes imported from hi. native Denmark, wa. serv ed io u. on ih. wind-swept deck. Borg. was a.ked to identify on. of ih. deli casies. "That's a hard-blown egg," he said. "What kind of fish is this?" asked a guest. "Tuna?" "Yes," Borge said. "It's a piano tuna." "You have been giving pi ano concerts for many years," someone observed. "Do you ever play at home for your own enjoyment." "Oh, yes," Borge said. "I'm the only one who does enjoy it." "You certainly have a wonderful tan," another guest commented. "Where did you get it?" "I got most of it on my face," Borge said. Borge, who has ju.t re turned from a tour of the Orient, wa. asked for hi. opinion of the Far East. "Sometimes I don't think it's far enough," he said. One of the crew members told us that Borge had sailed the yacht on the open seas in all sorts of heavy weather. We asked Borge if he had ever had any serious difficulty with the vessel. "Yes, I've had some trouble paying for it," he said. At this point we passed the Mount Vernon excursion boat, which was loaded with tourists. "That must be Liberace'i yacht," Borge said. I guess that sailing with Borge is what is meant by the old expression "down to the sea in quips."
