Hurricane Irene Claims it’s first Victim

Looks like Hurricane Irene took an extreme turn to the West last night while we we’re all sleeping. Glenn (aka Swimdad) in California,  did’nt heed the warnings and left his boat in the water. Hopefully he can repair it in time For the upcoming Mayor’s Race at the Schooner Fest this year.

Good Luck Glenn!

From Glenn, (aka Swimdad) Former Gloucester Fisherman;

Paul, I  Was on the way to join the GMG Sloop at the schooner fest, but I ran into Mean Irene.  Boats alittle beat up, broke the mast and bow sprit but all hands are fine.

From Glenn AKA “Swimdad”;

Hi Paul;        I have been trying to get this pic to you but had to wait till I got a new all in one printer.  The person who took this got in touch with Matt and wanted to know if anyone would like copies back in 1978, never did get the persons name.  That’s me on the left, Tommy in the middle, Matt on the winch and Skipper Mike in the pilot house. 

 

Almost 33 years ago, boy are we getting fuck’n old
