The Lightning
November 16, 2010
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.
