Peter Wilhite, son of the former owner of 63' S&S yawl Athene, introduced me to him at the club. As Pete's dad got older he decided to sell Athene to Chris Shroll because he could afford to keep her up. Last I heard of Athene, Chris had her shipped to the Med...maybe she's back in row #1 now. Really glad I had 3 wonderful sails on her.

Those trips to Bolinas were neat. They treated Peter like a member of the family. The first time out they only had the hull frames up, and man were they massive. They'd stop and tell tales, have us in the house for coffee, whatever. Just one swell bunch! Thanks for the fine memory!
