INVESTIGATOR 563

just letting everyone know that i no longer have my beloved investigator a guy got it off me from gin gin QLD i had to part with it due to ill health my boat was called Mayhem sail number 53 from Herveybay i will keep tabs whats going on love to of kept her but my back is so bad these days i had to let her go no doubt i probably regret it i had all my family on my back to part ways it as not one of them like sailing and were worried i was going to end up in the water so i gave in so just letting everyone know to keep an eye out for the new owner i did tell him about this site

Thanks Vincent for keeping us up to date on another 563 history . Maybe the new owner will join.

Hope things work out for you health wise. My back will eventually take me out of sailing I know but I'm trying to keep everything as simple as possible to keep me in the game as long as I can. That's why I moor. Maybe you can crew for someone sympathetic to your condition. I'm going to stay on the water as long as I can in some way or another even if it's a canoe with an electric motor.

All the best .

sorry to here you had to let it go vincent
keep on dropping in
you never know some one from here may need advice on sailing in that big bay of yours

Hi
Also sorry to hear that Vincent. Ozzie is right - all is not lost with possibilities of crewing on other boats. I did this when a work injury ruptured a disc in my lower back and consequently six years of chronic pain ,sciatica and rehab. Crewed on various keelboats and a Careel in that time until a laminectomy operation fixed up my back.
Keep in touch on this site - a great little forum for all sailing fans,sailors and non sailors alike.
