The mission was to move my 1972, 26-foot Bristol (hull 147) sailboat from the Tinicum Delaware River Marina to the Chesapeake Bay. The old Bristols are strong, heavy, lead-ballast boats made out of woven fiberglass. The rigging looked new and came with a roller fuller and lines leading back, but no fancy electronics. The yellow boat color was odd. I had spent the previous year checking her over while in the water, and now felt it was time to go to a better sailing location with a marina that could get the boat on the hard for the winter.
