Honest Sailors
 

About two months ago I sold a Cal 34 to a couple in PA. They got a really good
deal on the boat and were quite happy. While doing some cleanup, they found a
diamond ring stuck under the sole. The ring's value was over 15K, but they
still called me to track down who it belonged to. I asked the original owner if
he'd lost any jewelery aboard and he told me about how his daughter had lost
her engagement ring (she thought it was lost swimming) 4 years ago! Well, they
hooked up and the ring is now back on her finger.
Very nice and very honest sailors!

You can be sure that if Tougboat found it, he would be ordering a new
bow thruster for his trawler.


For sure. No way he'd be allowed to buy anything "sail" related.

Nutsy,

You've used that "Diamond Ring Story" before. Please don't talk about
Honest Sailor with LIES!!

Shame on you, Thom. The story is 100 percent true. I sold the Cal recently.
Something nice happens and you want to **** all over it? Let Scotty Potti do
that.

Yep. It's all a big re-run for Bubbles.

Perhaps, but there has been a glut of lost/recovered diamond rings
aboard boats you have bought/sold. It sounded familiar to me, as
well.

You're all a bit confused. You're thinking of Suzanne's ring, which had been
lost and found. Nothing to do with this story.

Trawler sailor speaks!

Excuse me. I think this is where I came in.

Hmm. 15K! Hmmmm. And did the ring owner(s) pay back the
insurance company?
