Nope, sure didn't. I had the opportunity to carry out some surveys on the Vessel when I was with ABS, some 15 years after I sailed. Some of my handiwork was still in place. Some of it didn't meet Class requirements. Oops.

Great to hear from a former crew member. I'll bet that back in those days you never imagined she's still be sailing 30+ years later.

I sailed on that one back in '78 when she was still the MAINE.
