Ok RWS - you win the prize today ..... I had actually made a few days without tears ....... That is a very similar version of our lives ... Dad was not in the Navy - he felt his chances were better in the air, so he flew with the Air Force in a Spitfire for 4 years overseas during WWII. He had met m...

Thanks Jamie and Todd! I appreciate everyone's kind assistance and support! It is an amazing ending to something that was such a huge and important part of my childhood and my life growing up, and subsequently my daughter's as well ... she putted around in the same dingy I did!!!!! I was truly fortu...

Thanks so much for the interest ... as you are able to tell from the original post date, it has been quite a journey! Our family boat was sold due to my Dad's declining health ... not long after, he did in fact pass away ... I belonged to the half of the family who advocated to postpone the sale as ...

:D :D :D So folks, it has been a while - a long long while! However I had to come back today, because much to my complete amazement, I have found her at long last! And, she is still floating!!! Going now to figure out how to load the photos I took yesterday ... will be back as soon as I figure that ...

Oh so interesting ... wish I had more time to spend here! The Monomatic head thread is very informative. As with everyone else, when these boats were outfitted originally with small toilets, tanks etc. the world was NOT environmentally correct. Dad had one of the monomatic heads installed as that wa...

My husband has now started looking about and found these 2 - incredibly different, the first in Simcoe I had already noted last year and is apparently still available: http://www.antiqueboatcanada.com/ab_list_boatNew.asp?Left=&Type=ViewBoat&BoatId=27334 The second is MUCH more fun, but none-...

My husband found this ad for me yesterday ..... a little far from home, however heart warming just the same: http://vancouver.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-boats-watercraft-powerboats-motorboats-36-Trojan-36-Boat-shed-Lynwood-N-Vancouver-W0QQAdIdZ271057827 Not meaning to post a "for sale" ad w...

:( So so sorry ... seems so many of this age and vintage are suffering from the same diseases and outcome ... I agree with earlier posters regarding surveys - good advice and also another eye to what and how much work actually lies ahead. It is always difficult to put something to rest when you have...

James ... you are a star!!! Thanks so much for your comments and suggestions. And I agree ... it may be well that I must let sleeping dogs lay ... for my efforts so far have turned up no leads ... I have tried the Marina - was sold in the past 5 years - no back files turned over at point of sale - n...

Hi boatman2100 ... I did look at this ad ... found it early on ... I honestly do not believe it would be possible as this boat, Eleuthera - has so many structural differences from my Dad's. If you look at all of the photos listed individually below, ie. the fly helm photo in particular, the cockpit ...

Gruntzengroans - now that's a beauty ... I did not know that there were tri's made around that time ... and you're right - should keep you busy for a while, but oh so worth the rewards ... keep us posted on the progress please!!!

Hello folks ... Well, am sorry to report that other than one kind soul (who I believe owns the marina where one of our members dock near Port Dover Ont,?) I am "dead in the water, sorry for the pun! Admittedly, I have been away with my daughter these past couple of weeks so not as much time to ...

A quick update ... unfortunately due to privacy, the Ministry of Transportation were unable to provide me with any information. I can apply to the Access to Information and hope that someone there might view my request as reasonable ... am going to print the form and do the submission - fingers cros...
