The location sounds like it is near DonnW on Long Island.

Wouldn't that be a nice bit of garden art, parked at my bulkhead?

With 5' draft you'd have to do that on a HIGH tide.

Donn, if you haven't already, you need to sail one of those in a stiff breeze, on a broad reach, rail down, honking along like a freight train in a hurry...

Plenty of rides are available, some in Massachusetts, more in Maine.

Just make sure you get a skipper who will SAIL.

Happy Adventure!!! I laughed out loud at the reference. That was a fine novel. And I'll bet the romantic fool that buys this has exactly that, a happy adventure. HooHa!!! smile.gif
