    Drew, I remember all the things you mention. Neil's Bayfield came back with an outboard on the stern after he blew the engine. I'm pretty sure I remember your boat...did you have a big dog with you, and you were pretty much under the crane on the hard for the winter?

    I was fixing up a Cal25 back then. Wayne was a wealth of information. I enjoyed hearing his tales of ocean crossings, and also about building his boat in hamilton.

    I was told he paid off his daughters home (farm?) with his drug money. They gave him a deal...if he plead guilty, they would let her keep her house.

    Nick liked to talk. He told us Wayne went car shopping, found one he liked and paid cash on the spot (jeep cherokee I think). Nick liked the smell of money.

    Hi Hamburking, thanks for your interesting report on Wayne's boat....I met him way back in 1996 when he was having his boat fitted out by Nick the kiwi boat builder. I definitely remember Nick fitting out the helm station and the wheel house. Do you remember Wayne paying for Nick to fix up Neil's Bayfield 32 before he sailed to Bermuda? I also remember Nick finding a very large secret compartment but keeping quiet about it. My wife and I were two kiwis with a green folk boat called Mahalko, I wonder if we ever met?
    Thanks
    Drew
