I met my wife in Deerfield Beech beach Fla in 1982. Her and her father alone had just finished a project of a lifetime.
The two of them had completed a miracle.
Her father built the where house, then over a four year peroid, Just the two of them built a 63' cabin cruiser.
It was a project most of us could not comprehend no less undertake.
Phil salvaged two 12 cylinder supercharged diesel engine from the Saint Lawrence, and completely rebuilt then for installation in the Dream Chaser.
My wife was the hardest working woman I ever met. She out worked me every day when we moved to North Carolina on a Farm.
Her father Phil died in his early sixties and the Dreamchaser was sold to a party on the west coast.
Carol contracted a rare form of gallbladder cancer in August of 2011 and died in December of 2011.
We enjoyed 11 years of Salty fun on the Sailboat Simplictic.
After She passed I left my occupation of 34 years and decided to enjoy the uncertainty of life with a C-Dory.
My Boat has been on the road for 48 hrs and will be here tomorrow around noon.
I stopped worrying if I would have enough money to live to be 90 yrs old and took a chance on a C-Dory.
Here is a link to a Newspaper article on Carol and her Dad' monumental feat.
