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. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

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. |

Steel is stronger per pound than fiberglass. Joe 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! |
