When I read the article he didn't appear to be a wealthy individual at all. He had to sell his motorcycle and did plowing for a winter in order to pay for the 25 year old boat.
I hope he is able to finish getting it ready for next summer!
And speaking of Meredith Bay- our boat, loaded to the gills for a one week island rental, almost ended up on the bottom of that Bay after launching. Yup, I forgot to put in the plug. I informed a boat pulling up to the dock and we quickly dashed out to install the plug. Lots of water in the engine compartment but we were OK.
I make mistakes, don't we all?
