Whoops, I certainly did, Lee

One of the messages in those discussing the two methods of determining LON
you posed was signed by someone, and beneath it was sailboat Bounty,
Moorhead City, NC.

The Bowman 47 is a fine boat. The one's I'm familiar with were all seen in
the Eastern Caribbean, center cockpit with a small deckhouse, and yawl or
ketch rigged.

Good luck with you hunt,

Joel
