M/V Innisfail

Sitting topside today, the yacht M/V Innisfail pulled along side the other side of the dock.  I posted a picture of this beauty a few times back but after yacking with the crew, I thought it worth a few other words.  Originally built the the Mathis-Trumpy yard in 1939,  she has changed owners several times.  Once named the El Presidente, she had received all Presidents from Roosevelt to Clinton.  She hosted Jacky Gleason and Marylin Monroe for several visits each.  She spent a five year period as a conscript of the US Navy as a armed coastal patrol boat with 20 mm cannons and depth charge racks.  She was brought to state-of-the-art status and granted "new boat" status by the USCG.  Now she has all the charm of old with seaworthiness of a new ship.  What a beauty.  Take a trip to this link: http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/trumpy-yacht/2408-trumpy-el-presidente.html  This is what can happen if one has the right wrist action (check writing skills).
