Some shots from our recent shakedown. 

 

Wow! I have really been neglecting my job.

 Sorry it's taken so long. We've been through a lot since this blog was updated regularly. 

In 2017, hurricane Irma hit us. The boat was spidered in the middle of the canal and we got out of town. Spent a few days in Hudson Florida with friends then two weeks in Kentucky with my sister.

The boat survived, but suffered some damage. It was only in March of last year that we got it all repaired. Then Covid hit. 

In 2019 I had eye surgery to repair a macular hole. In September of last year, I was diagnosed with Afib.

One thing after another kept us stuck in Marathon. Now, we are finally getting ready to attempt to finish the loop. We hope to head out by May 1.

During our long layup, we built a new Dodger, bimini and sail pack. We upgraded the wind turbine with the blue blades. We also painted the top sides. .

We have a new dinghy that separates into two halves and nests on the foredeck.
