She is so beautiful! Truly an amazing job!

Pick up a couple of blocks and cheese and bring it to me when you go to the Schonz & Rice Meet and Greet.

I love your boat and I love Bandon. Probably my favorite Oregon coastal town. Absolutely beautiful in that area.

Okay my friend, you have proven that you can build the boat, now I want to see how you get it in the bottle.

I may want to do just that after paying these moorage fees for a year or two.

Stunning. With talent like yours, I say solve the gun problem next!

^^an M-2 on the bow would really mess with the CG and dynamic stability. Really should think about port and starboard miniguns.

Spring is here, when is the Mar Azul making a run to Portland?

When is that Astoria to Victoria race? You running in that?

 

[MarAzul]

Still working down the fix it list from the last shake down. Pretty close to leaving for the next, heading North and up the Columbia I expect sometime in the 2nd week of April.

No we are not running the Offshore this year. I needed to get three people in a class in Portland to meet qualifications and that didn't happen for couple reasons.

But anyway I am bringing the MarAzul up to at least St Helens, perhaps Portland, then back to Astoria for some yard work.

The fix list is too much to write about, most is done, you will have to come see, easier to talk about it than write. Hopefully I will write about some of it in Blue Water Crusing or Cruising World,
some articles I intend to write.

Thanks Denny! I just ordered a quart of the stuff, to use on the bottom of my inflatable. It is rather ancient and some of the original has been flaking off.
This looks like just the ticket.

That stuff is great, I've used it before

Count down to Sea Trials Two underway for MarAzul. Need to wait so we can see game one first though.

Will you be able to sail to LA by Wednesday for game 2?

I probably will be in the Umpqua riding the hook that evening. Have to catch the game listening to Wheels.

If the British say no I really think you should rename your boat. You could make some $$$$ off of t-shirt sales.

Say hi to the umpqua for me. I spent 25 years of my life around that river.

Here are a bunch of webcams showing East Coast marinas and tourist ships. I've been watching the Port Canaveral one for a week, till a couple of days ago. The Space-X rocket which had landed on the barge finally was trucked back from Port Canaveral to Cape Canaveral.
