Dunvegan is Resurrected as Gold Star

Sitting at the dock in Port McNeill, Frank heard a boat named Gold Star on the radio call the harbor. We ran into Dunvegan (our old boat) on the docks in Bellingham a few years ago so knew her name had been changed to Gold Star. Sure enough, here comes the little tug that could!

We went over to introduce ourselves and met Jere Montague and Sue Hodges, her new owners. Their pride of ownership really shines through. It helps that Jere is handy with wood work, and that they appreciate her for the great little boat she is. They have repowered her with a new John Deere marine engine, apparently the old Ford Lehman finally went belly up.

Many thanks to Jere and Sue, may you cruise safely for many years.

Good to see the Dunvegan is still going strong. I like the old picture. If you look close you can see a hot chick sitting on the pilothouse!
