Nice looking
boat. I had seen a couple of guys on it on a regular basis. Always hard at
work. They installed a new
roller furler last week. I caught the owner taking a break last Friday. Introduced myself and invited him to a little shindig we were having on the T-head.
He declined, saying they were headed out with the tide after midnight for his first trip
offshore. They missed the planned departure and cast off about 9 Saturday morning.
An hour after dark Sunday night I saw the
boat approaching his slip and walked over to catch a line. Although I could not see a lot of obvious damage, they had
lost the
mast and
rigging.
He said they had never made it
offshore nor even used the
sails. A
chain plate ripped out of the
deck and Katy bar the door.
It must have been a tough 2 days.

Looking for another pretty place to
work on the boat.
