Well - it is done, over, complete and well done. She's back in town tied to MacMillan Wharf and what a beauty she is. The Richard & Arnold came out of the cocoon a new boat. She solid, strong and there's not a cup of water in her bilge. Dave said, "I've owned her for 30 years and this is the first time there's no water leaking in." He spent three months living in a motel room, worked 9 hours a day and ate fried food in restaurants. The clothing he brought home is covered in sticky fiberglass and I've thrown them all away. We had some good help, Dick Crowell has got to be one of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to how to cover a boat with resin and fiberglass cloth. He was sent to us by angels. The folks at Rose's Marine in Gloucester, MA are the best, most helpful and friendliest we've had the privilege to know. Where we go from here is not yet decided. We'll have to take one step at a time. The foc'sle is in great need of carpentry. Hopefully that labor of love will happen after Dave catches a few fish. We've still got to pay back what has been loaned. It is well worth the effort, the time and the money , because we have a brand new 62' fiberglass beauty that doesn't leak, what a joy. We have begun picturing her with sail assist, motor sailor, fishing-yacht. They say if you can dream it -
