The Lightning

This is a boat I bought years ago when I was first figuring out how to navigate E-bay. It’s a nice example of an International Lightning Class racer.  I had bid a ridiculously low amount, not expecting to win, and then had to drive to Grants Pass, Oregon, to pick it up. I restored it to most of its former glory and enjoyed it on Lake Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, for several years.  I found this pic today and indulged a bit of sentiment.  She was an amazing boat, and I miss her.
