Re: William Gardner Live aboard Scow
If you ever have a camera in the car when you drive by, you might
stop for a minute and take a couple pictures. I suspect quite a few
of us would appreciate it.

I was reading back aways about Wm Gardener's 24' liveboard scow. Well,
Oyster is still alive and living in Bothell, WA. I see her everyday
as I drive by on my way to work. She is owned by a lad named Monty
who is quite partial to her.
Monty purchased Oyster from the original girl who built her. I guess
she moved into a cabin somewhere on the penisula and still has the
plans with her. Because Monty is disabled he doesn't take Oyster out
much. Last time I talked to Monty he wanted 4K for her. Oyster needs
quite a bit of attention, but I have seen her sail and I have been
aboard her. Yes she is quite roomy with her coal burning stove and
shower. I wasn't able to quite stand up @ 5'10", but if I had her I
would redo the hatch so I could stand up while cooking and washing up.
When I saw her sail she looked quite capable in pretty rowdy chop and
gale winds out on lake Washington. Bike riders on the Burke-Gilman
trail who pedal past on the opposite side of the canal must wonder
what the heck she is with her very Dutch looking bow and leeboards.
If anyone is interested in looking at her I could put them in touch
with Monty.

Oyster is still alive and living in Bothell, WA. I see her everyday
as I drive by on my way to work. She is owned by a lad named Monty
who is quite partial to her.
Monty purchased Oyster from the original girl who built her. I guess
she moved into a cabin somewhere on the penisula and still has the
plans with her. Because Monty is disabled he doesn't take Oyster out
much. Last time I talked to Monty he wanted 4K for her. Oyster needs
quite a bit of attention, but I have seen her sail and I have been
aboard her. Yes she is quite roomy with her coal burning stove and
shower. I wasn't able to quite stand up @ 5'10", but if I had her I
would redo the hatch so I could stand up while cooking and washing up.
When I saw her sail she looked quite capable in pretty rowdy chop and
gale winds out on lake Washington. Bike riders on the Burke-Gilman
trail who pedal past on the opposite side of the canal must wonder
what the heck she is with her very Dutch looking bow and leeboards.
If anyone is interested in looking at her I could put them in touch
with Monty.
