My name is Barbara Miller, and my middle name is Rose. We’ve named our boat Second Hand Rose. I had been married previously, and a non-boater. I met husband Tom, and all that changed. At our wedding reception 34 years ago, some of our closest friends called me out into the vestibule and serenaded me with Barbara Streisand’s hit “Second Hand Rose.” We agreed that would be a great name for our first boat, a 288 Wellcraft. We are now proud owners of our fourth Second Hand Rose, and we hope to continue boating for many more years. You will find her berthed at the Harborage Marina in Boyne City, Michigan when she is not in Georgian Bay, the North Channel, Lake Superior, Door County or any of our other favorite spots on Lake Michigan.
