Historical Notes
Carol Bucholtz (Email to Nauticapedia 07/02/2026) states "The boat is in my yard in Sechelt BC. My husband passed away on November 21, 2024.
He had removed the caulking a few years ago, but circumstances had taken a few turns so here the Tempe sits. I would love to donate it to someone that has the love of these historical boats, the skills and time to put it back to sea."
