Subject: I met your boat a couple of months ago

Hi Jason,

I own M31 hull #9, Architeuthis. In a really odd coincidence a friend of ours called my wife a month or two ago and said that his buddy had bought a boat in Morro Bay and that he was helping him bring it down to Santa Barbara (where we live). When she asked what kind of boat it was, he said a Mariner 31 so we went down to the harbor to meet them and it turned out to be hull #10. I'm still freaked out by the level of coincidence. Our boats must have sat next to each other in the boat yard in Japan over 40 years ago and then, out of the blue, a friend of a friend bought it and sailed it into our town.

As I understand it, our friend's friend decided to move to hawaii and not keep the boat. I guess that's where you came in! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the boat. The people on this website have helped me out a lot and I'd love to be able to return the favor.
