Beautiful.* The intersection of art, LSD and boat.* I wonder if Neil Young wrote the description in the listing.* Sounds like it.

Woody,

You need to link your linkies

Tony

That is sooooooooo totally you!* You must have that yacht.* You can take your family on that long cruise you have been talking about.* Just think, as long as you own that yacht you will never have to worry about what to do with your time.

I was up close and personal with that boat at Bremerton Marina in May of 2009. The owners at the time were offering cruises. Its a big boat!

I had the good fortune to spend a couple days aboard the Ragland when the wife of a* good friend who grew up on a schooner ( SV Alcyone ) chartered her for a cruise for his 50th birthday.. We had a great weekend and I managed to sleep on a extra berth in the Master Cabin. The boat is a rugged work of art.. with magnificent carved deck beams and stained glass windows.* She is a slow pig though.* I spent the time looking at the amazing craftsmanship and shivered at the thought of maintaining her.* The skipper said about 150/200k a year!.

It also happened to be a perfect September in the San Juans so that really made it even better. I will see if I can scrounge a pic from the weekend

HOLLYWOOD
