Some have said that he docked her there to let her die from neglect. This is so sad to me. The owner of Miss Ann is the owner of the Colonial Beach Yacht Club I believe. Just thought if I posted this here, someone might be able save her from a negligent fate... such a beautiful boat. :( Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-50139205138496399332012-02-06T12:53:37.961-05:002012-02-06T12:53:37.961-05:00Just saw that the Miss Ann is up for sale again.

I told him it was nothing personal, but I really have a severe dentist phobie that dates back to some unfortunate experiences as a child.<br /><br />Ms.Seabreeze - That's a great tidbit, can't even imagine being in the middle of all those sailboats on that beautiful old boat. <br /><br />Off to cut grass now that the valium has worn off.

The passengers voted on their favorite sail boat each year. It was a sight to behold with the Miss Ann smack dab in the middle of 100 sail boats sailing around her after the finish line. Not having the Miss Ann the past year was a big loss. It is truly a beauty to behold.<br />msseabreezeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-11818771299344080682009-04-24T09:21:00.000-04:002009-04-24T09:21:00.000-04:00Yes, hope you survived the dental experience.

If that old vessel could talk, oh the stories she'd tell. <br /><br />I had the privilege to go out on her three times, twice for free courtesy of some of the workers on board, and once as a paying customer.<br /><br />There was something majestic, regal even, about her and it made you feel special and privileged to spend some time with her. <br /><br />She was just gorgeous. (May still be, but haven't seen her in a while.)<br /><br />Wasn't there some connection to a president? I can't remember, will have to look it up.<br /><br />Thanks MMM for the links. I was too tired last night to post anything other than the Tides Inn link--which is also a story in and of itself, a beautiful inn.<br /><br />Off to the dentist this morning, may end up on Guinea General Hospital due to panic and anxiety over the procedure he has to do.
