Member Personal Page Posts: 4280 Comments: 7 Joined: 09/30/05	Is that what the owner said, or is that what was reported in the paper? I have yet to see the boat owner quoted anywhere. Could you provide a link to an article I missed?
Kindervb	#17  Posted on 04/23/13 - 6:03 AM
Member Personal Page Posts: 26 Comments: 0 Joined: 06/16/12	It was in article on line and talked about the boat and the damages and the work the owner put into the boat. There were several quotes from the owner and that was one of them. I will see if I can find the article and post a link when I get a chance I have meetings most of the day.

Member Personal Page Posts: 4280 Comments: 7 Joined: 09/30/05	Here is one article that says the boat was a 22 foot Seahawk. The boat's owner, David Henneberry, is not directly quoted as saying that, though the boat's name is given as the Slip Away. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/natio...-1.1322387
