Age is it? So you want me to SIGN IN do ya? Forget it, I'll go down with the ship. FLAMES and everything.
Robb 35 built by Cheoy Lee in Hong Kong shipyards, 1965. Cool plaques attest to this in English AND chinese. My brother's chinese ex read the chinese parts for me and verified they say literally the same thing.
Well, Hong Kong was still British then, so there!
cool. I was guessing (previous post) 40. Not a good judge of size. I KNEW it was greater than 30 though. I guessed 40, but was wondering 30 something? Heard of the Cheoy Lee name. I like a boat tail manufacturer that I can NEVER remember the name of when I want to refer to it (now). Is it like Aries? or something similar? Can't remember.
NEVER SIGN IN!!
But her keel was laid in 1965.
So she is slightly older than I am.
Her original owner was ostensibly some CIA spook, according to some old folks who came by one time looking for him. Possibly bullshit, but their stories matched up with plaques denoting race victories they mentioned, so I believed them.
I feel her dark-side energy, and she seems to like me, so. Yeah.
offered HALF the asking. I have to REMEMBER that. I'm autistic (quiet) so I'm NOT a wheeler dealer type.
Dude, we may not be all that different.
I only offered what I had. Which happened to be half what he wanted.
AND the dockmaster said to offer what I had, since that's what he owed to the marina.
Sort of funny aside, I hear he never paid that bill. He was a helluva sailor, though, so despite his lack of honor in this instance, I hope to meet him in saailor valhalla one day again.
Pretty sure Walkabout likes to see her men drink.
