The Peconic Tonic


THE PECONIC TONIC

This is me and my husband Olin and our new toy.  I have to put this on my art blog because it will be the subject or vehicle for creating my art.  It is a 19' Mariner.  It arrived from Maine  a day after Christmas in fabulous shape for a 20 year boat.  Thanks to Stuart Marine who really went out of their way to make it shine!  It has a unique history.  It was originally built for the Actor Cliff Robertson who starred in PT109 and Spider-Man (Uncle Ben).  The name Peconic Tonic is for Peconic Bay near the Hamptons where he lived.  Olin and I had an O'Day Mariner like this in the 80's and loved it.
