UPDATE: Aug 24, 2020:

This did not turn out very well. Towed across the border. The boat was seized by the Canadian derelict vessel program, as she was given for free to hopeful new owners that did not have the funds to take care of her, just after 2 Months across the border at anchor. Towed for disposal at the cost of Canadian tax payers yesterday.

UPDATE: July 1, 2020:

Hey all — Augustus Octavian here. My partner and I have taken on a major restoration project, and we wanted to share it with you.

We recently aquired the Callie Belle, a 1910 built 85 foot wooden motor yacht. She needs a lot of work, but we are up for the challenge, though anyone in the Victoria, Canada, area is encouraged to get involved and help us with her.

Eventually, she will be a retreat center, saloon, and community center for my not for profit.

I'm posting some photos below, and I'm also posting the gofundme page we made up for the project.
