OK - so I'm having a great day sailing my 23 on a beatuiful Narragansett Bay day. Suddenly my 13 year old daughter calls very upset that a very mean man from the town has just put an orange sticker on the house and he is demanding that I contact him at once. My daughter was scared to death but my 16 year old, 6 foot 3 inch tall son wasn't scared and chased him off the property. It seems that my land-loving neighbor does not share my love of old boats and he being related to the Mayor has gotten the zoning board to violate me for running a boat repair business out of my house. I tried to reason with the inspector, the zoning board and the Mayor, but did I mention that my neighbor is related to the Mayor. The bottom line is I either clear my yard of everything nautical by the 31st of this month or they are going to impound everything and charge me a $500 a day fine plus towing and storage fees. Have you ever heard the old saying "you can't fight City Hall" well it's true, especially in this town.
It's an absolute sin that such a beautiful boat is going to have to be junked unless I can find someone who wants to take her and refurbish it. If anyone knows of someone in the northeast that is looking for a great project boat please forward this link to them. I have placed an ad on this site and I'm only asking to recop some of my out-of-pocket expences. At $500 this boat is a steal for someone looking for a classic daysailer.
