..he'd built from the tree up. Logged the trees to build the boat, had a forge, lots of black iron in the bilge, no engine, he was in his early sixties at that time IIRC. He made his own sails as well. He was on his way up to OR to visit his sister on his way to Canada. IIRC he left the canal zone area, his main blew out, and he could only go downwind..to Hawaii where we met him. We were all anchored in Keehi Lagoon when it was still a free Federal anchorage..before Hawaii got ahold of it. Hmm. Got some slides somewhere.....
