Cool video guys! Ben, I think I had those same sunglasses ... were those prescription Ray Ban sunglasses?

[@MorseAlphaExpeditions]

I think they were!

[@PaulExner]

Cool ... I still have mine as a spare aboard Solstice.

[@MorseAlphaExpeditions]

Maybe so! We never know ;-)

[@svbarryduckworth628]

Glimmer Glass Bridge. Tight fit...

[@MorseAlphaExpeditions]

Pretty tight, but that Nor’sea is only 8’ wide 😁

[@scs130773]

Hahahaha, you guys are a riot! Tell me something, do you guys miss the old boats? They looked like fun little boats with heaps of "personality".

[@MorseAlphaExpeditions]

They sure were cool boats. But we don't really miss them much. Different program now, and we enjoy that.

Haha you two r so funny together and i love bens quick witted humor and Teresa's perky cuteness and together u guys r an amazing team! I didn't know ben was from long iland' i also was born and raised here in nassue county Oceanside to be exact' ive been sailing long islands waters since the late 80's starting from my beloved sunfish in which i actully converted into a super sunfish, uno like laser rig vs the boring lateen rig. Im like u guys have had many sailboats' lived in port Washington on north shore aboard a 40ft piver triamaran in the early 90's and then bought a Morgan 27ft race boat and then a 24ft suan Juan race boat and then a 33ft herrshoff bristol 33ft' then a 23ft herrshoff design boat and now my prized possession, a 1939 dutch built 32ft steel cutter that was actully involved with ww2. So two weeks before Hitler invaded Holland a jewish family bought this boat to flee the nazis and sailed this very boat non stop to long iland ny for there freedom and the boat was put in a old barn for decade's forgotting for decades buried in time intill mid 2000's my boss purchased it, but being a non sailor he one day at work around 2010 when i worked on the casino ship opus out of Freeport nautical mile (crazy party strip) one day while in the pilot house the captain new i had a passion for sailboats and mentioned the second mate bill is selling some old sailboat and knowing me a sucker for old classic sailboats with sweetlines (Hinckley b40 perfection) so i had to see his boat out east on the island' so finally when i saw the boat i was in awe! One of the most beautiful sailboats ive ever saw! Kinda looked like blue nose hull real amazing classic lines and i was in love!! So after buying it i had to find a way to bring it to my now permanent resident 20mins from Disney by Orlando fl. So i found a heavy duty trailer and got the boat raised up with my two 12ton bottle neck lifts and finally got boat and cradle on trailer and welded up to trailer and like Christmas of 2012 i towed this huge boat and trailer probley 16.000 plus combined weight all the way to Florida with my dodge ram 3500 diesel truck not to mention the trailer had no brakes!! Haha good thing this boat is only 8ft wide thou so i didn't require a extra wide permit. So here it is now in my yard still and trying to restore her so one day i can be like u guys!! This boat must live again.😺
