A bittersweet day today, the former Sea Scout boat Liberty is on its way to the scrap yard, this boat served us well for years teaching Scouts sailing skills along with boat maintenance, we gave it to one of the members at the Yacht Club who used for a few years. Last year during a storm it broke free and banged up against the work float doing irreparable damage to the hull.
