When I picked up my boat, it was as if the PO had forgot to take his stuff.
Flashlights, x-tra batts., knives, cleaning stuff, teak oils, rum bottle,
full size tool box full of tools, lamps, tape, lots of spare parts, and even
a coffee can full of quarters.

Thats nothing....One time I picked up a boat returning from Mexico.
It had been working for Pemex.

Took it to the shipyard and while cleaning it out found 20 kilos of
Acapulco gold wrapped in newspaper hidden next to the hull along with
300 rolls of toilet paper. The new owner made me toss it in the Sabine
river (

WooHooo!!!
The boat had to travel almost 1,600 from Michigan to Texas, but she is
home.
Man the goodies in this boat are unbelievable. Alto pilot, a box of boat
tool, sail repair stuff, even a marine cable tension meter, but better yet
a
half bottle of Scottish Whiskey and the list goes on and on.

Anyway here is the link to the picture with my wife standing in front of
the
boat:

In the Sabine River? Hey I sail on Sabine Lake? Dock in Port Arthur. You
still in that area? Or are you in Kemah now?

In the Kemah area now. That happened at the 3 brothers shipyard up
around Orange around 1990.

You know throwing that in the river was very irresponsible of the owner.
Everyone knows it should be burnt.
