    Thank you, This is a wonderful film. Maggie's Gate Five Girl is Amazing. I wish I coulda showed it to my mother. I'm the one who got to sail on the Richie without having to have built her! Thanks to everyone who lent a hand. I crewed to get her home in 1978. The Richie is sexy getting her mast set and hauled out. Ah ..... these guys were my sweethearts. I've been here, I've been there. but the only thing I ever miss is Sausalito boys.

    My step-father’s work of art called “The Madonna and child” was built around 1969-70. It burned down in the year 1972. The Owl boat was both built by Chris Roberts and Skip Melcher. Chris, also built The butterfly boat and The barrel barge AKA The evil eye, which Bill Mayhall, lived in next door to us when we lived in the Owl boat. Shel Silverstein, bought the boat and moved in around the end of 1969. We lived in the Owl from 1967-1971 and then moved to gate six into The Charles van Damme ferry boat.

      He was never going to find satisfaction chasing those things. Even humans can’t be satisfied with the things of the world, but how much more is that true for a lion? He had an identity crisis, but had experienced too many things to go back to how it was supposed to be since the beginning

    It's not the Anchor-outs that cause pollution. It's the legal boatyards, and paying dock members. They will dump 100 gallons of fuel without batting an eyelash. They have the money to pollute. It's just gotten so crazy, and Anchor-outs are easy targets. I guess all homeless are easy targets? (By the way, the boat yards are in collusion. They have been breaking federal laws for years. The Sea Scouts were selling donated boats, and all the money was going to one guy named Dale. He's probally out of jail by now, but he told me how it all works down on Richardson Bay. Oh yea, the cops ticket for everything, and pretty much everything is illegial. They do leave the tourists alone though, but harass everyone else.

Anyway back to you. I had to log in again, but that wasn't all of it, I left a lot of things out, that now I know I should of filled in the blanks, that you can see me looking off. Tje fact is I started writing a book years ago around 1995. I have to re-write it because of water dammage, and to insert the humor I've discovered over these yrs. But the Truth is It needs a REAL writer.
