A hobby for Phil... or maybe not

This happened a while ago now, but her is Phil's fun project with his friend Tony. Tony has this old boat at his place and the boy's decided to see if it floated. And it did! In fact they went out one nigh on a little trip just to see how it went. They tied the boat to the left side of the dock.. it was on the right side by morning. That afternoon she was taking in some water from the waves. Phil could hardly sleep thinking about the boat that night. He was up bright and early the next morning and headed down the beach to see what was happening to the Alaska 1. She had taken in a lot of water so Phil tried to bail her out. But the waves were getting bigger and it was a loosing battle. So at lunch Phil and Tony asked the trusty work crew if they could help pull the boat out. These guys are SO amazing! Angela and I sat on the dock and watched the magic unfold... we may have evne had a Margareta in hand.

The boat is safe on the sand. Further investigation will be needed to see if the boat will be restored to is natural beauty (tee hee hee) or it will become a raised herb garden.

You know when the best two days in a Boat owners life are? they day they buy the boat... the day they sell the boat.
