81: "REAL" BOAT, REAL SKIPPER (Part 2) - a podcast by Jim Brown

UNMARKED FORK IN A DESERT TRAIL

Talking again with Havilah Hawkins Jr. aboard his monumental gaff sloop VELA, we approach the subject of parting with one's boat of many years. We then revert to all the things he has done with those many years of vessel stewardship, and inevitably return to ending that era of one's life.

"Haddie" has a lot to say about it, with an eye to his next boat, a "creek crawler." With use and years, it, too, will come alive.
