Somebody needs to form a syndicate and get ten folks with the needed 
scratch to own this baby.  What a platform for exploring!

Anyone know it?

I can see the rise in the Columbia down here from Craigdrool -- he must 
have already seen it.

I could use a life style change right about now. But a 37 year old wooden haul??? And what happens when oil goes to $500.00 a barrel?

> One good thing about wooden boats is that you can replace everything
without changing the structure (as long as you do it one or two bits at a
time). Wooden boats, as long as you use them a lot, can last a long time.
The downside to this is that you do have to replace bits and the people who
do the replacing (unless you are pretty handy) can be spendy.

Dave.... who just built a wooden boat... cleverly encapsulated all the bits
in epoxy which should pay off big time when he turns 80.

As far as $500 oil goes, I think I'd finagle a way to moor the boat in
Nanaimo. I am pretty sure I could happily live in Nanaimo on a boat for a
long, long time and not really have to move it very far.
