We were in Boothbay Harbor last weekend and I noticed at
Brown's Wharf
this boat (the red one):

Could it be the Swan 68 that Wilbur said was in the Med?
We rowed
over, and after breakfast at Brown's (the Downeast Special
was two
eggs, bacon, etc, plus a cup of Boston Baked Beans) we
strolled the
dock like we belonged there. And indeed the mystery boat
was "Y2K," a
Swan 68, in for the New York Yacht Club cruise! I pointed
out that we
had the same winch handles as they did. But was it
Wilbur's? The
proof came in a minute, when my wife asked what the
bubbles at the
water line were. A few seconds later their cause became
apparent, and
fortunately for us all, I did not have a camera with me!
To make this
more egregious, it was at the pumpout dock, and in fact
the dock
master was not five feet away, uncoiling the hose for the
boat ahead
of the Swan. I fully expected to see Wilbur emerge, fly
open and
dragging a string of paper, but he apparently had the
aforementioned
special, and remained indisposed.
All true,
Jeff, aboard Loki, Harraseeket River, South Freeport,
Maine.- Hide quoted text -
