Besides, there is a veritable chorus of people singing the "Charleston Harbor Sunken Sailboat Blues" - I know the words and I'm trying to learn the tune.
Now, if what I wanted was a skiff, I'd find one. That would negate the notion of raising a sailboat and then what would you have to read about? Ultimately, if I raise a bad sailboat, I'm closer to a good one.
Now about that skiff.....
