Many of you have asked when I'd be getting a new boat. To risk going missing, or becoming object of a dangerous and expensive rescue weighed heavily on my ultimate decision. At the time, shoreside family responsibilities were paramount. Most of you know a little over two years ago I abandoned and scuttled WILDFLOWER returning from Hanalei. Meanwhile, I can't let Alan have all the fun playing in sawdust and glue. His PHRF just came in, and with a rating of 426, we are all in trouble. We anxiously await the launching of “Wisdom,” Alan H.'s new skerry. Well Done, Bill, on your exceptional service to SSS.
