Hello

 

I have just discovered the site. I used to follow the old one. I bought my boat new from John S. in May, 1968. The boat was on Gangway 28, in the Long Beach Marina.

I sailed most of the Channel Islands and then, in 1995, trucked it to Houston, Texas and traveled the waterway to Destin, Florida. Went back to California for two more years then trucked to Marathon, Florida and then over to the Bahamas where I spent two years.

The boat is now on a trailer in the front yard. I live in south east Missouri. I lived aboad the boat for 13 years very happilly.
