You can read the newspaper article at Chez Jay framed and hanging on a wall near the restrooms in back. Long story short - Jay spent countless hours restoring a boat in his backyard, a massive project. I believe he planned to sail around the world in it. After the restoration was finished Jay hired a moving company to put the boat on a massive trailer and take it down to the marina. On the slow trip down to the marina the moving company was going around a corner at a busy intersection - and the damn boat fell off the trailer and crashed in the middle of the intersection totally destroying it!! In the middle of the afternoon during peak traffic no less... I had the pleasure of meeting Jay and his daughter a few times. I attended the "Remember Dennis Wilson" party held at Chez Jay about ten years ago with members of the Wison family and close Beach Boy friends. I always had a great time at Chez Jay. I have not been back for several years though since Jay passed (RIP)
