"Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men often go Astray!"
Here is my story of a 50' Yacht (picture just a representation of this)
When I was younger and lesser the wiser, in the 1985's, I was living in the Yucatan of Mexico and was walking on the beaches of Progreso, where I came upon this beautiful 50' Ferro Cement yacht on the beach.
I looked it over and had dreams of bringing in workers and importing British Mahogany wood from Honduras to finish it off.
I had a friend there who was building old replicas of Spanish ships on the beach and he agreed to take a look at it.
He tracked down the Mexican owner who told the story that a rich Miami partner had wanted to build such a boat but on completion he had died of a heart attack.
This man agreed to sell it for $ 500.00
Unfortunately my friend dashed my dreams by telling me that the rain had entered the hull and had eaten away at the re-bar structure and that this yacht was destined for destruction.
Later that year Hurricane Gilbert washed all my dreams out to sea
