We were thrilled to be visited by Alexander Moffat (the third?) aka Banner Moffat, he is the grandson of Mahdee’s original owner. He and his girlfriend, Lisa, brought down some of Skipper’s published articles as well as a half-model of Mahdee that used to hang in Skipper’s home and now belongs to Banner. We scanned the articles into the computer and took the following picture of the wonderful half model. We really enjoyed their visit and seeing the half-model. Banner gave us a copy of a wonderful picture of Skipper, gray haired and with his pipe, he looks every bit the yachtsman.

We really enjoyed their visit. Since they live in Southern California, we hope they choose to visit more often.

Behind Banner and David, Mahdee resides in the white tarp enclosure.

Below, is a picture Banner took of Brenda and David while we stood under the boat discussing the planking work which stopped when we ran out of long mahogany in mid-July. The planking will resume shortly as the wood arrived mid-October.
