Skipper was an opinionated old coot with a lot of misguided notions
about boats and many of other things. I kind of miss him in a
perverse sort of way however. Hope is health is OK but he started
fading out from here after his knee surgery last year. Maybe he
finally bought one of those clapped out, rust bucket fishing boats he
wanted to convert to a long range cruiser.
