Rescueing another boat that paid off
14 February 2014
So, at this point Mark has been working on "By His grace" for 4 years. This is all done after work & on weekends.
He has also been watching this boat down at the marina that in the process of sinking. The owner passed away & his children didn't want it. It is a 34 foot Catalina sailboat.
She was going up for auction & Mark thought he would wander down and see what was going on. Mark and one other man showed up. The harbor master wanted at least $1,800 for the unpaid moorage fees.
Other man bid $1,900. Mark bid $2,000. Other man decided Mark could have it! So, he comes home & tells me he bought another boat!!!!! Just what we need I'm thinking but then it isn't me doing all the work so OK.
It took one year of hard work....and it sold for $33,000!! So Mark went out & bought the electric winches he wanted, the traveler, roller furling for the two head sails, and other goodies that he had been drooling over.
Well, that took one year out of working on our Cascade. but, it did pay off.
