From SoundingsOnline. My unusual adventures aboard a beautiful 1930s-era power yacht. By Capt. Lou Boudreau

The 110-foot Electra

It was 1992 and I was captain of a lovely old 110-foot power yacht named Electra. She was a creation of the 1930s, with none of the chrome and fiberglass that one sees so often today.

Soundings is one of my favorite boating magazines. That’s why I’ve been a subscriber for over 20 years, and follow Sounding on Twitter, and Soundings on Instagram.

If you’re a boater, you should be a Soundings subscriber, too! In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “Dwell as near as possible to the channel in which your life flows.”
