Tim,
Welcome. We used to own a 39 Express ketch which has the same hull as
your boat but a different rig and cabin. Did you buy the one that was
for sale in San Francisco Bay? Will you be bringing it up the coast to
Eureka?

What Bill meant to say is he owns “Entropy”
Funny story about the “h” though. When we hired a painter to put the
name on the transom we wrote it down carefully on a sheet of paper.
The guy had been sniffing paint fumes too long and forgot the piece of
paper at home. When I got home to the boat a mysterious “h” appeared
behind the “p.” I called him and asked him about it and he admitted he
had forgotten the piece of paper. The next day he came down and redid
it. The original name of Bill’s boat is Uhuru, which is Swahili for
freedom. I got some strange looks from some African (American?)
fishermen when the boat had that name. The original owner who
completed the boat from a bare hull and deck was a professor of
anthropology at the Univ of Utah. The boat was actually completed in
Utah and then trucked to Alameda for launching. Some of his neighbors
asked him why he didn’t choose to keep it in the Great Salt Lake. Funny.

Anyhow the gentleman cruised the boat down in Mexico when his wife
reportedly issued some sort of ultimatum about coming home. For some
odd reason he chose to part company with the boat rather than the
wife. Anyone who has ever sailed Entropy may question his judgement.
His loss was our gain and eventually became Bill’s boat when we chose
to move off the boat and start investing in real estate.

did you boat belong to a policeman in the LA area?

If so, I was on it in 1988. I had one that was in
Charleston SC when Hurricane Hugo came and ate it.
