11 years ago I bought her out in Spokane and promised her owner a good home on the Mississippi River, here on the Wisconsin Riviera. I kept that promise as long as I could. Today she sold to a gentleman back in Washington State and will soon be crusing the San Juan Islands. She's excited, I'm a little sad but happy for her. I'll lurk around the site here and will encourage the new owner to join. We're a really good group, if I do say so myself, and these little boats are lucky to have us. God bless Minnie Swann, and all who sail upon her! _________________ Gary & Gerrie former Minnie Swann owners
It's something in the water! |

And yes, it is .... something in the water.
Wishing you the best in the new direction, and welcome to the new MS family.

Sounds bittersweet, but how nice that Minnie Swann is going to yet another appreciative owner. And glad you are staying around
I've always liked the look of the "less high" camperback she has. |

In the "It's a very small word" department, the Minnie Swann is now parked in my next door neighbor's yard! And I had no idea. |

Thanks for the note. Another coincidence is she returned on the very same route that she came to me on 11 years ago. By the way, you have very nice neighbors! |
