The Nathaniel Bowditch was auctioned by the U.S Marshals this past week but apparently nobody wanted to fork up the minimum $250,000 bid to start things off. Auction lasted a total of 27 seconds. Regal boat seems to be headed for strange, untested waters. Previous owners defaulted on a $370,000 loan, which is how she ended-up in arrears. A friend wanted me to go to the auction and put in a bid. HA! As if Scara isn't enough trouble I have to saddle myself with an old wooden schooner built in 1922. I'm sure, eventually, she'll find a home. Some crazy, sea hippy with a pocketful of loose cash and a fantasy to play out. Good luck to you, mate, whomever you are.
