Update on Reid Stowe and Anne?

[Matt White]

Today I was on a boat tour of Wilmington and saw Anne on the banks of the Cape Fear river, derelict. Does anyone know what has happened since the record-breaking voyage and today?

Here is what she looks like today:

Maybe she's not really derelict, but she's not in good shape.

Well true confessions, I had to go look up who that is. I had forgotten about that trip. At one point I was following some of the time. But it didn't interest me as much as Jessica Watson, a trip I followed every day of her adventure.

You might want to post your query on Sailing Anarchy. One of their longest and most...ummmm..."entertaining" threads ever was on this voyage. There are people there with encyclopedic knowledge of this man and his voyage.

Alan, since you suggested it, a link to the discussion page on SA would be helpful.

That should buff right out

That boat has been sitting there for two or three years I guess.

It’s awaiting to return to nature, from whence it came..

Here ya go: http://forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?/topic/52463-couple-cruise-for-1000-days/ I think this is the main one (which went on for 304 PAGES of posts!), but there are others that reference him as well.

Well, that thread certainly turned south fast as only SA can do. It still ends in 2010. I'm still searching for what happened since!

@Chris Patterson - Southport NC? I was there today, lunch at Provision.

 

[Chris Patterson]

Yes Matt, that would be my little town.

I followed that link. OMG! First time ever being at that site..
