4/21/2024 0 Comments Vale Jack StoltIt has been a while since I have updated this blog, mostly due to the fact that Becoming Mrs Argos has been written, re-written, edited, added to, reworked and adjusted repeate4dly and crafted, I hope, into a story you will all enjoy reading.
Meanwhile Argos has gone to her new owners and is currently being refitted in Airley Beach and I live a more ordinary land-based life on the Gold Coast. I will post here when I have news to share about the publishing of Becoming Mrs Argos. On another note, sadly, I heard this morning that Argos’ loving builder, Jack Stolp passed away yesterday aged 93. Jack built Argos in his backyard in Vancouver BC so that he and his wife could sail the oceans in her but unfortunately, she became unwell and those dreams were not fully realised. Jack was so happy to know that Argos was still being sailed and loved in the time I owned her. Rest in peace Jack.

Our life aboard Argos has been seriously challenged this year with the surprise departure of our skipper. As a writer, diesel mechanics and the complexities of many aspects of Argos’ on-going maintenance are way beyond me! We would like to see Argos continue to sail and eventually hope to use her to offer support, encouragement and a break to people who are struggling in their lives. Any on-going help towards maintaining Argos would be greatly appreciated and enable us to achieve this goal.
