Pandora has a new owner

Post by RobertB »

Hi Folks,

I haven't sold Palamida yet, though a really nice family came to look at it on Sat and then went for a sail on Sunday and have made me an offer that I'm still considering. If I sell to them Alisia will be the new owner.
Anyway, after a day of having my face in the books, I drove down to the local boat ramp just as Pandora' was being retrieved.
Pandora is the Yellow topped, extended Investigator that has been for sale for a while up here in Brisbane.
Great boat with a really good trailer too.

I got to meet the new owner 'Henrick' (pronounced 'enrick) and had the pleasure of telling him about the time when Pandora overtook me with only one sail up!

Henrick is looking forward to meeting everyone in SE Qld.

Cheers, Robert

Pandora is a good name for this particular boat, as it has a lazarette locker in the extended part at the stern. For those that don't know, HMS Pandora, wrecked off Townsville, was carrying some of the Bounty mutineers in a cage on the aft deck, called the "Pandoras Box"
