Cutter s cruising guide for member s favorite watercraft accessories
Art I don't think the Wild Goose is 250'. From what I remember it is more like 120'. John Wayne would stop at the dock for provisions and fishing tips in Secret Cove Marine on his way up to the sound. I had a high school buddy that worked the warf. John Wayne was certainly treated everyone with respect, even if you were just the dock urchin.
I only saw the Cowichan once or twice when it was still active. It was on the government pier at low tide so I was above the boat, not beside like the Wild Goose. It is a bigger and faster vessel. Did you look at the stainless V12 in the second set of pictures?

The Wild Goose began duty as a mine sweeper in 1942 and service in WW2 for the Canadian navy. Now where's Murf with that info ?!! She is 136' with a 25' beam and is still active as a part of a luxury fleet of charters yachts owned by Hornblower cruises. She docks at Long Beach Ca. For those who would like to see detail photos, floor plans and virtual tours you can log on to www dot hornblower dot com. If anyone has any JW signatures or memorabillia they would like to sell please contact me first.

While I do kinda like those big shiny stainless V12's the closest I get interest in a boat that big is sheer admiration for their largesse.
I am a 'stink boat' lover through and through, HOWEVER, anything that exceeds a power to weight ratio of about 5:1 on the wrong side of "Faster Daddy!!!" is of little fascination to me.
Mind you though, I do really like those big cruise ships, the wake they throw is impressive, so is the result when you point yourself at them and push those two big chrome levers forward a ways....
Of course I do get told by the "Second Mate" that this activity is another thing which is DEFINITELY "SBA" (Sports Bra Approved)... Ahoy there Matey, brace for impact!!!
 MAO, Best of luck.
BTW, Doc I was in your 'backyard' this weekend, a friend and I took his new boat for a shakedown cruise, we ran from the tip of the Bruce Peninsula here in Ontario over to Alpina Michigan, what gorgeous country that is up there.

Murf, If you would have run just a little further past Rogers city to the Refuge Harbor you would have been setting at the main gate for my property. I assume you were just ahead of the Port Huron Mackinaw Yact race.
