After an extensive period of time we narrowed our selection to 2 boats found in the Glen-L catalog. The sleek Raven, and the homely Gypsy. The Raven had it all. She was a 27 ft. trailerable cabin cruiser with sleek lines. The cabin had nice berthing, galley and head. I could see myself coming into dock as all drooled over my mini yacht. The Gypsy on the other hand had all except looks. She was a homely boat however very practical. She did have an incredibly shallow draft, which I wished for the Florida lakes. Also, the Gypsy could be utilized as a camper, and I thought the layout was more practical for a family with children. So, amongst children chanting, "Raven, Raven," I picked up the phone and ordered the Gypsy! I never regretted this decision, and soon the family came to really like the homely Gypsy that we christened "Fair Havens."

To the excitement of the dreams reality!

That night the crew wished to sleep on the bow porch, which I agreed to. I noticed as I went to bed that along the shoreline you may well hear small minnows splashing. So we fell asleep with a gentle rocking of the boat and the soothing splash of those minnows. Around 4 A.M. I awoke and noticed the splashing of the minnows was very close, so I tried to gain up to investigate. However, I couldn’t sit up, for the reason that the bow of the boat was angled down. Still being half asleep, the thought came to me that I ought to not have let the crew sleep on the bow porch, for the reason that their weight was pulling the bow down. Then I jolted awake amongst realization that something was terribly wrong!
