From the old-n-moldy-boat dept
Well, Matt's yacht transport service was back in action yesterday. We drove down to Keyport and picked up a Charles Hankins lifeboat from a boat builder that is friends with my friend Jack. Jack paid the hefty sum of one bottle of vodka. The boat is significant because Jack just recently bought the building in Lavallette where Mr. Hankins had his boat building business. It's diagonally across the street from the Crab's Claw Inn (but you knew that Chris, right). The life boat was in pretty sad shape, it was held together with 2 2x4s that kept the sides from falling in on its self. Jack plans to restore the little boat to its former glory, or something close.
Here is the vessel on my trailer in Keyport.
Amazingly it stayed in one piece for the drive down the Parkway.
While I was at the boatyard in Keyport, I saw I boat that caught my eye. I spoke to the owner of the yard and found out it was for sale. Needless to say, its VERY tempting considering the price.
The Evelyn 26. No bumble bee jokes necessary.
...or taxi cab jokes neither.
I likely. I want.
