Greetings,
Mr. 2008. Welcome aboard.
Mr. 2008. Welcome aboard.
Maybe I could hit a sandbar and start a go fund me account. Unfortunately, I’m not good at crying in front of reporters. “I just need $857k to have her hauled, rebuilt, repowered and painted, that’s it, nothing else. Waaaaa!”
How did I do? Did I tug on your heart strings?

She's the Caroline C, at anchor in the Manatee River, listing 10 degrees to starboard, and swinging any darn way she pleases. Many great suggestions from all of you with too much time. The pink or lavender color ideas have inspired me to pursue a paisley hull on my next boat. Kinda like a floating 1970 VW micro bus.
Caroline C truly has nice lines to my eye, but on reflection, I lack the initiative to undertake this project. So, she’s up for grabs fellas– help yourself.
Just don’t knock off my paisley hull idea. When you see one, you’ll know that’s me…

Highwire nailed it...10* list. What an eye!

We saw that boat while anchored up in the Manatee River about 2 months ago. There was an Active Captain Hazard marker for it being sunk at that location!

Found an interesting story about the CAROLINE C here: Gallery | A setting sun casts a warm glow on the 90-foot trawler, Caroline C | Bradenton Herald
and a very cool photo of her: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dcluth/12389364603/in/photostream/

That’s a Russian stern trawler. If he is there, he was kidnapped.

So now, even the Russians are bringing their derelict boats to Florida.....sigh.
In similarity to old depleted ship discussed here...

"The Mary Deare" / "The Wreck of the Mary Deare"
First full book that really captured me and that I read through from first to last page... while in early grade at grammar school. At this moment - Can clearly recall standing in "North School" library isle and seeing its title on cover butt about eye level, then pulling it off shelf to read preface. I was instantly excited. The memory so much impressed [touched] me that as I write this I again sense aromas of the old library and books and what I saw as a bright window in the room as I turned in the isle to head toward main desk. Librarian seemed old with gray and brown curly hair. Rather frumpy but pleasant.
After finishing that book in short order; books about what ever I liked to read became my friends.
Love boats; back then loved any sea stories.
PS: Mid 30's I stopped reading fiction. Reality books, study books, document books, reports, articles and factual calculations for potential future outcomes fill my life since. As well as ways of "real" entertainment!

Loved that book as a teen. Fiction is still a fun read although as I age I am finding that truth might indeed be stranger than fiction.
