The last Farrell boat was the 18 ft. 'Peace and Quiet' that they sailed and rowed back to Nelson Island after Sharie's lengthy hospital stays. All the wood was beachcombed from the beaches in West Vancouver.After Sharie died, Allen gave the boat to a dear friend and Colin Hanney's daughter, Corlynn Hanney. Corlynn repainted and renamed the boat to 'Buttercup'.
'Buttercup' was recently donated to our museum to join with the other items in the Farrell Collection.
