Alaskan Squall - The End
Posted: Tue Apr 02, 2024 5:34 pm
With sadness and relief, the 22 year effort to dry out the 1968 Squall in the garage is over. I gave up. She started life as a rowing Squall and I found her in 2002 as a mailbox in Thane, Alaska weighing 484 pounds.
At her last weigh in last July she was down to 159 pounds. But time and age (mine) said it was time to go. Plus a huge opportunity presented itself with a dumpster to help my neighbor move only 50' away.
I've had Whalers since 1966 (except 1981-1988), the Squall is my last (maybe).
