Sad news about the Flying Pig - The Redux

[knottybuoyz]

Although the aforementioned thread contained much interesting and useful information and opinion, it did not entirely conform to CruisersForum standards of conduct.

We (CF Mod/Admin team) have discussed at length and believe the situation, and issues surrounding it, deserve a full hearing. Accordingly, we invite everyone to participate in the reinstated thread.

Here's the original post that got it all started.

"Skip & Lydia were blown off course near Marathon and their boat, Flying Pig" ran aground on a reef. The coast guard air lifted them off and the red crossed put them up for 3 days. The boat was pulled off yesterday ($30K) and towed to Keys Boatworks in Mararthon. Insurance will pay $7K of the $30.

These people need help. Anyone wishing to help may send $$ to:
Skip Gundlach
c/o Keys Boatworks
700 39th St.
Gulf Marathon, FL 33050

Trust me, they are too proud to ask. I'd never met them, just followed their preparation progress online. I took them to dinner Thurs. nite.

They really need $$ help. Hope many can do a little.

Thanks, Jay"
