P.S. kinda funny, they are doing the final strip on a boat they will
soon crush..It's been sitting idle 10 yrs I know of.


The name is " We Dream"


Uggg............ the more I hear someone use the word "Dream" in a
sentence about sailing the less I listen. Seems to be the kiss of
death (for the boat). The other is "Destiny." I cant emagine why a
person would name their boat with the word Pig in it regardless if it
could fly. Good boats deserve good boat names...... honerable names that
show respect for the design. And not names like Wet Spot or Breakin
Wind etc.

Yelp Destiny was a very bad luck boat for me and my wife. She was a
140ft aluminum crewboat running out of lousianna. We just reported
aboard and as second captain the sr Captain decided to take the boat
out, offload then I would bring her in. Socked in fog on the
Atchafalaya outbound and the Captain made a one whistle passing
agreement the the crewboat Dare a 125 footer. Neither retard slowed
down to pass and the last thing my wife saw before being knocked out
was a green running light. Smashed in our bow 20+ ft and about 35 ft
on the smaller boat. We were doing 22 kts and the Dare was doing
25kts. My wife hit the radar Broke ribs, ruptured spleen and lacerated
her kidney. I was below in the bunk and went up the bulkhead.

This is a picture of the Destiny's wheelhouse and my lovely wife.
She was standing at the chart table flew across the wheelhouse and hit
the radar in the picture.
