Sad news received this morning:
I've just returned from three weeks in Trinidad and had a tour
of Passagemaker a few days after she had been moved from Crews Inn
to Power Boats Marina. I'm sad to say that the pictures from 2004
have absolutely no relationship to the present condition of the
boat. Passagemaker has been ransacked and is disheveled to say the
least. I barely recognize Passagemaker from the pictures on the site
and I think it will take a lot of love & money to save her from
further deterioration. I didn't get a hard dollar figure for the
boat when I was on it, but I got the impression that almost any
offer would be better than nothing and would probably be considered
if not accepted. I hate to bring you this bad news, but Trinidad
seems to be the end of the line for a lot of cruisers and the
graveyard for their boats.
Unfortunately, there was no real interest in raising money among the
handful of fans of the old girl that I brought together, and,
unfortunately, no one person was interested in buying the boat even
when she was still in good shape.
An illustrious chapter in trawlering history is about to end.
