The only reason the good Capt's boat would be seized is for the public benefit! The National Maritime Museum would
have it declared a historical landmark and place it in the public trust. It would be housed in a maritime museum,
surrounded by velvet ropes. There would be a viewing platform so onlookers could see the historic cruiser in its full
glory. The walls of the museum would be covered with the good words of the fine Capt and a twelve foot bronze likeness
would bless the entryway. The restrooms would feature cedar buckets to be emptied by the patrons themselves to remind
them of the great sacrifices the good Capt made to promote correct and essential sailing everywhere.

Mr. Gilligan,

Joe posted about all those Coast Guard boats that're splitting and cracking.
They ain't seaworthy. There's no way they can confiscate Captain Neal's boat.
He's out in the ocean sailing. Those little orange rubber duckie Coast Guard boats
can't go that far. His boat's very seaworthy. Max blue-water safe and unsinkable
or so he says. But, there's no reason to doubt him. You say he's sailing the Straits
of Florida. He can stay out there practically forever. He's got Cuba to the south
and the Bahamas and Virgin Islands to the east. Big Coast Guard boat's are
grounded. Who's gonna get near him?

Cheers,
Ellen
