Clare made her comments in Catalan to an appreciative gathering of about 200 members and friends of the Association.

Great to read all your news and associations. We bought Johanne in 1974 after she had sunk in St John's harbour and been raised by Edith Matthews. I think John Letton owned her before that. Now she is in really good hands with the Association of the friends of the ketch Ciutat de Badelona. They have even set up a choir in her honourAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321730162166103910.post-70569021134893814852012-09-30T18:27:03.871+00:002012-09-30T18:27:03.871+00:00I would like to contact Jhon Letton and everybody ...I would like to contact Jhon Letton and everybody that knows about Johanne Regina as I am a memberr of The asociation Amiocs del quetx Ciutat de Badalona amnd I am trying to write her story from the very begyning.<br /><br />XavierXavier Fornesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321730162166103910.post-15691970274583472742011-08-21T07:56:58.959+00:002011-08-21T07:56:58.959+00:00http://amicsquetxciutatdebadalona.blogspot.com/

She was berthed in St. Thomas and a friend and I were in from San Francisco, 19 years old and looking for adventure. We hauled fruit from Dominica, Guadalupe, Martinique, etc. up to St. Thomas. Oh, do I remember starting that ancient semi diesel motor! We rode out two hurricanes in 1970 on board.
