I'm one of us four brothers, and one of the two still based in Illinois. I can remember back in the early 80's, bunking out in the center cabin of Destiny for a few nights when we visited Gene. That was a great time for us. We should have arranged that he would have cast off then, and sailed to the far corners of the world with us. If we only were younger and had money. Gene would be the captain, Don and I would be the officers, and Chuck would do paintings that we could sell in the ports to provision up with. Instead of that happening, I am now the one that flies to the Islands and instead of floating on the sea, I dive beneath the waves and enjoy the beauty that lies there. Don, brother # 2 drives his motor home to wherever the roads lead to. He is not computered up, so I thought I would add him in. Clark, please do continue to share the adventures of your voyages with us. Ken Schenk Clark,

I'm the brother of the fellow who sold you your boat. He's the previous replier on this page. Back to my contribution... I'm the guy who painted a collage of your boat against a chart of the Virgin Islands which hangs (or used to anyway) in your salon. It was a gift to Gene back when I was in art school. It would really be great of you if you could take a nice digital photo of it and email it to me. I'd print it out and send it to Gene so it can help him relive some memories. Making memories are what boating is all about. Sail on, Chuck Schenk Hello Clark,

After a quick perusal, I started concentrating on everything to spot changes you have made. Not many to the basic boat. I would have done some that you have, but most of the time I was living on $600 a month, which didn't allow for much in addition, besides limiting professional care. I feel very happy, and my daughter Lisa does too, for having had you come along and continue the great boat's voyaging. My health has deteriorated so much that I can hardly be an armchair sailor now, but I do try. I have other questions and comments about myself, but this is not the proper vehicle for them at this time. Thanks for reactivating your website. Gene Hi Clark,
