Command Performance's Second Lease on Life (A Look Back)
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
A look at CP's humble beginnings. The look on Lee Dahlen's face tells the story. Arriving in Stonington, CT days prior to my arrival, it was Lee's duty to complete work started by the yard (but never finished). Not happy with the list of "to do's" facing him, and only 48 hours to get them done before "take off", he (along w/ Rick Traskos) get down to business getting Command Performance in working order. Not to be outdone, Lee finishes the tasks and even gets the "dead generator" up and running (and 5 years later... it's still running!!!). It's interesting (as the owner) looking at this photo. I don't recall that black chair behind Lee (probably one of the items thrown out in the two dumpsters full of crap that came off this boat!). I cherish the fact that we finally completed the galley work to get rid of that huge square hole (look to the left of the small step) that was once a big screen tv. She has definitely taken on a new "look" since then. This photo taken in May of 2004.
