Sad end of a good little boat
 

Well, I just got a phone call earlier tonight from the man
who bought our Hunter 19 a few years ago. The boat was hit
by lightning this afternoon and is destroyed.

It's really a shame, a lot of miles of water (and highway)
passed under that boat. We enjoyed it tremendously as did he
& his family.

Too bad it was not made of steel!

I must not heed, though tempest rave;
My course is set, my hour is known,
And I must front the dark, alone. "

If it had been steel, it would not have made 1/10th the
cruises it did, because it would be too heavy to trailer so
easily.

If it were steel you could have welded wheels on to it to save weight by
eliminating the trailer.

BULL Feathers!
Steel is stronger per pound than fiberglass.

Your words are faint, your brow is cold,
Your looks grow sudden gray and old,
The lights burn dim, the casements shake,--
Ah, stay a little, for my sake!

Too late! Too late! The vow you said
This many a year is cold and dead,
And through that darkness, grim and black,
I shall but follow on its track.

Destroyed? What's the damage report? Was it in the water
at the time? No one aboard, I presume?

It's better to burn out
Cause rust never sleeps
The King is gone but he's not forgotten
