[foolharty]

A good family friend and neighbor had this boat for years. He loved it, but it was getting worn- needed TLC. I would joke about when he was going to sell it to me. In reality I always wanted something older, but whatever if the deal was right it would suffice. Well it only took an act of God to get the deal worked out.

After the July 4th Hurricane/ TS Arthur hit Nantucket I was out on the Whaler surveying the damage in the harbor. Lo and behold I see in the distance a black bobbing upside down hull. Pit in my stomach, call up neighbor, "have you been down to the boat?" He says "yes, and I have a proposition for you..."

A sight no one wants to see...
