Today I had the privilege of facilitating the transfer of that most auspicious and storied GIS, I Am Zinea, Pterodactylus, to her new captain, the salty Pat Daniels. IAZ, P was resting comfortably in Essex, Connecticut, and needed transport to Brooklyn, New York. Enter yours truly and the ManVan. We were assisted by fellow GIS captain Paul Hayslett who lives fairly near in Connecticut, and my brother/photographer/sailor Rick. With four grown men it was insanely easy to lift the hull onto the van roof (additional lumber cross bars fitted for the occasion). All in all, it was a great day for the Goat Island Skiff community.
