Ableguy, No worries. She's a frequent topic in the PNW FB groups. Especially along those Islands, and in the PNW cruising groups on FB.
All things considering her age, its pretty impressive. Its shocking how old, many ships are.

It's an illustrated villa built by a Russian in the 1870s, and has changed ownership several times. The last owner was Swiss artist Franz Fischer, who died in 1980, and the villa was abandoned at that time.
Apparently, it has just been sold again for restoration, which would cost around $10 million.
It is part of our heritage and cannot be destroyed.
Luciano Pavarotti has performed here in the past.
