A friend of mine crossed the pacific 3 times in a Brown Sea Runner, It just depends what kind of plywood was used and how it was fastened. Marine
plywood fastened with bronze or stainless screws good, CDX fastened with galvanized nails not so good.

I would think that if you were gonna use cdx, why would you spend the extra money on galvanized nails? Just a thought.

You'd be surprised at how some of those were constructed, I wasn't joking about using CDX, what's even more surprising is how long some of them have
remained afloat.

Five people on that boat...what a mess.
Any word on where they came from and are heading to?
To make it worse the first photo shows SURFBOARDS on the deck. Now there are some "locals"

We had a trip planned to the Punta Blanca area last week so we loaded up extra food/water, not knowing if William and Laya were still stranded down
the coast at Punta Cono. After spending some time with Brooks Smith et al at a never to be disclosed location (hah!) we headed south along the steep
coast road instead of the inland silt beds and found that they are indeed still marooned there at Cono---on the northwest part of the bay---luckily
the safest place to be. We gave them what we could (and still be able to get back home). Bruce and Gay (from Bay of LA?) had come out and put the
boat up on a trailer so the damage could be worked on. However they did not have any fiberglass, and had returned home to try to find supplies. The
fishermen and Bill (Larry's friend) at El Marron know about the situation and are bringing some supplies occasionally. There was some talk that
William's brother was trying to bring down repair material too.
Despite everyone's help so far they will soon be low on supplies again---we got them about a week's worth of food/water----more supplies would be
greatly appreciated if anyone is in the area. Bill is doing what he can but just has so much to give.
William did say he has a Garmin GPS and had loaded it up with navigation charts but the Garmin won't recognize the charts since they're not from
Garmin. He has a CD of charts too though and says he will try to merge the two. Again, any help with charts would be greatly appreciated, of course
with the hope that they will set sail again.
William and Laya are very nice people...there was some talk that they should abandon the boat and get the kids back to LA....but the but is their
home, literally, and I think they'd like to see if they can fix it.
Will post more if I left something out---brain is still re-engaging into the rat-race.

Back in the '60s I bought a tear drop trailer that was built that way. First time taking the kids camping I went up 9 mile canyon from hgw 395 to
Kennedy Meadows and by the time I got to the top both sides were flapping in the breeze. I left it there.
