For Two Departed Sailors
June 1, 2007
Our new little boat has a new name.
For my sister Madeleine and my friend and mentor Susan, who both loved sailing the west coast. I miss you both every day. You’ll be with us in spirit when we trim the sheets and crush the egg shells.
Small is the new Big
June 1, 2007
We’ve jumped on the bandwagon. Small is it.
Our new (to us) sailboat is small - just 22 feet. That means less to maintain, tiny little winches even the kids can manage, and fewer $ paid for moorage.
Consequently, our new tender is the smallest Zodiak made - the C200. It’s just 6 feet long and can be pulled out of a bag and inflated in less than 5 minutes flat. Tired of rowing ? We push it along with a 2 hp Honda outboard. The fuel tank is a whopping 1 litres.
And we get to the marina and back in our tiny but mighty Yaris - a five-passenger five-speed ball of fun that seems to never need gas.
