Captian Ron

I saw her out under sail last weekend, she is pretty. However, I think the only way they will get that price is is if someone buys her for charter.

The price has been upped a great deal because it was in a freaking movie. Thus it is a memento for that movie. A historical item it is not.

What was I to do? To be brutally beaten, to be killed perhaps, would not help my case. I looked steadily into the cruel gray eyes. They might have been granite for all the light and warmth of a human soul they contained. One may see the soul stir in some men's eyes, but his were bleak and cold and gray as the sea itself. "That's the way it is with squalls, boss," he said, "They come on ya fast, and they leave ya fast!"

There were actually two boats used in the movie, both Formosa 51s. Afreind of mined owned one of the boats. Unfortunately - his was the "before" boat!

My husband is the cheapest man alive but I daresay he would actually buy that boat without even batting an eye!
Love that movie.
