Thursday, June 26. 2008 Charlie's moving on... Down but not out - Charlie has headed back to Japan. John Welsford spent some time with him just before he flew out and noted the following
He's trying hard to hang onto the positives, and there are some, in his words, he has achieved half his dream which is more than most ever do, and he can achieve the other half but he has to do it a little differently to the way he planned. To explain, he built a boat, an ocean going boat that was a real little home, built by his own hands, lived on her for a while and then sailed her on a blue water voyage. To complete the voyage needs another boat and there are several possibilities but now is not a good time to make big decisions. There will be a book, and I've seen the beginning of it. Watch Duckworks magazine for a report from him on the voyage and the shipwreck, the rescue and the aftermath. I'm looking forward to reading the story so far when Charlie has time to sort through his thoughts and commit them for publication (paper or web). _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
