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.


You must be color blind. Chippewa has black topsides. She plies the
Atlantic between the Med and the Caribbean. She's never been in Boothbay
harbor and probably never will be.
