We all lost a good friend last week. [Richard Ebbecke] we will all miss him dearly,he owned hull #369 he was kind enough to make our dreams com true by giveing us his pride and joy[maetta].a 37 ft tartan . We[marty and I] plan to take her were ever the wind blows us.our plans are to leave in 60 days. we are already liveaboards so its just a matter grabbing the personal things and giving away our dickerson 35 to the right person [witch is harder than one would think] we would like to hear from people who knew richard e-mail sailorflo@gmail.com

So sad to hear. Condolances. Feel free to spin yarns of the adventures of Richard and maetta. I'm sure it was a comfort knowing his legacy would be in good hands.

Mariner's 23rd Psalm
The Lord is my pilot, I shall not go adrift;
He lighteth my passage across dark channels;
He steereth me through the deep waters,
He keepeth my log.

He guideth me by the evening star for my safety's sake.
Yes, though I sail mid the thunders and tempests of life,
I fear no peril, for Thou art with me,
Thy stars and heavens, they comfort me.
The vastness of the sea upholds me.

Surely fair winds and safe harbors shall be found
All the days of my life;
And I shall dock, secure forever.
Amen.


Sail on Richard.

Just a quick note, it's been ten years since the loss of our good friend Richard, but as we lost him we gained another good friend Maetta! She has been good to us over the years but it's time to say good by to her as our life's and dreams have changed with the times! We still think of him often and kept our promise to sail her for 5 years, we stretched it to 10 but as I said life changes! With that said Maetta hull # 369 is now up for sale she will be in our hearts forever as will Richard for giving us the opera unity live a dream if y'all know of anyone looking for the prestigeus T-37 Maetta feel free to call Flo at 843 615 5543 sad
