Sweet ! I had a 20 ft. wooden boat for awile,but never got it in the water.My girlfriends daughter and I used to "sail" it around the yard while singing the theme song from Giligans iland.

BDA, that's a big boat for sure...Good story ...Rip, I could just picture you and your girlfriend's daughter doing that....Buster.....

Ok bda, when she's done. Just sail her up the Big Muddy, and we'll all come to the bank, and see her in person. Would be an interesting trip. You could pull in a have a few.

If by the 'Big Muddy' you mean the Mighty 'Mississip' I had considered that route if I was going further south into the Caribbean but the water levels are still very low. Don't want old 'Captured Hearts' hung up on a sandbar, she wouldn't appreciate that from her Captain.

The beer sounds good though,(do you have Molson Canadian in Arkansas?)

Great story, Kinda felt like I was on that boat. When I was a kid a neighbor had an old wooden boat in their back yard, all us kids in the neighborhood spent a whole summer playing pirates, gilligans island, and love boat. I also had the pleasure of spending a week on the schooner THE TABOR BOY. I grew up on the ocean and that is one thing I miss living here in the back woods of SC. Thanks for the adventure and memories.

What a beaut, BDA! I've owned a 40' houseboat and a 21' Hurricane deck boat - and enjoyed them both - but never have owned a sea going vessel - and certainly not one that will be the showpiece that the Captured Hearts will be when you're finished!

Fair winds and calm seas to ya, mate!
