Thats too bad, but it is pretty great that an 85 yr. old guy has the moxie to be working on his own boat, and being a pain in the butt to boot.

You'd be shocked! There's lots of older folks floating around who still take care of their boats.
There was a guy with an old Cheoy Lee ~30 (WOOD) that used to go to the Carribean on his own every winter then go to Maine every summer. He did this well into his 80's and took care of the boat himself and did the passage on his own. |

I think something similar once happened to Flap and his waders.

You're not supposed to put the hibachi IN the waders no matter how much you wanna take it out to that sandbar for fresh grilled fish!  |

On the positive side, he saved a lot of money on the install of the propane stove.

 Joe you got a twisted sense of humor  you funny bastard
He is very lucky to have survived that, what a shame the boat looks ruined. i hope he doesn't plan to fix it himself, maybe he had insurance. |
