Captain Fou

[gjberta]

OMG, we have been looking for Fou (Capt. Martin L. Bowman III) for a long time. We also met him in Governor's Harbour on Eleuthera.
I sent a few cards to his Nisky Mailbox in St. Thomas but I guess he had moved on.
LEOCAT66 please tell him Joe & Wendy send their love!
He may remember my wife more than I; he used to call her "The Carib Indian Princess" - he'll remember that!

hey Captain Fou. I am the guy that stopped by today, in the red truck, and helped you catch the horses. It was good to see you again. I was with the alabama army national guard unit, that came thru you neighborhood, clearing roads after huricane katrina. i was blown away, with your story about how you swam out to you 40 some odd foot boat, in the 30 foot storm surge, (of course the boat has no motor). Then you pulled it around by the tree tops. When you thought you were close to were your dock should be, you dropped your anchor, and went to sleep in the boat, and road the storm out. you told me, when the water went down, you discovered that you had hooked your dock with the anchor..... So here i am, just days days after this devastating storm. Listing to you tell me this story. And then you point out this huge boat. All the other boats for miles around, are upside down, or destroyed. And yet, yours sits perfectly next to the dock, as if there was never a storm. Im a believer.....Anyways, it was good to see you again. Oh yea, i made to Houston safely. good luck with the horses. they seemed a bit stubborn

I cooked and crewed for him aboard the Caribee' which was an investor-owned charter boat in 1982 inSt. Thomas. They definitely broke the mold when they made him...

I knew Captain Fou well, we sailed together on a delivery from St. Thomas to Maryland with a hurricane on our ass, he encouraged me and accompanied me aboard my first little boat the Melody Anne, and crazy as he was, he was always my friend. I lost touch with him when I left the Caribbean for further oceans. If you see him, tell him Captain Chrissi sends love.
I came across this post while doing a search for him, I know this is an old post but if you know how I can contact him, let him know that I miss him and would love to catch up, if we are still sailing the same planet.
