Default Poor Captain Skippy - his boat might never sail again.



I recently learned that, due to the fact the "Flying Pig" has been
on the hard for so long, when the building inspector was making
the rounds he couldn't help noticing how the Pig had become a
permanent structure so the inspector declared the Pig to be an
historical monument.

As you all know, historical monuments acquire a certain 'status'
that renders them unable to be moved from the place where they
were declared historical. So it will take reams of paperwork,
thousands of dollars, a team of lawyers and a special dispensation
to release the "Flying Pig" from her historical monument status she
has so richly earned due to her extreme longevity in a boat yard for
transients.
