Jim and Karen Hervieux had a great ASA 104 a couple of weeks ago ... some terrific wind, mostly clear skies and leaping whales. The one at the top cleared the water more than 20 times in 30 minutes.


Local Adventures and Adventurers -

We've been out playing on our new Jeanneau. It's twice as much boat as Wiley - 12 tons as compared to 6 tons. We're still getting used to the turning radius and acceleration characteristics. We missed the big blow on Wed. and had to settle with 15 kts. or so yesterday. We're looking forward to more challenging conditions as we head to Windy Lane, Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa 9-11 June

Those of you who sailed with me last year in Wiley can book Sancerre from now until August at last year's rates. Just give me a call, tell me your dates and we'll lock that part of the calendar for you.

We only have a couple of pics of her, but more will be coming.

Here's our new baby - a 2002 Sun Odyssey 45.2 from Jeanneau. She's ready for charter. You can have Capt. Dan take you out for the day or you can explore the Channel Islands for up to 7 days. Go to Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Catalina - anywhere you want from Pt. Conception southward.

Our huge adventure is our new boat - yet unamed, she's a 45.2 Sun Odyssey from Jeanneau. A 2002 boat, she had only 175 hour or so on the engine when we met her. She needed a good scrub, some waxing topside and a few thousand bucks worth of upgrades to meet the survey requirements, but we're almost there and ready to resume charter ops.

Those of you who sailed with me last year in Wiley can book No Name from now until August at last year's rates. Just give me a call, tell me your dates and we'll lock that part of the calendar for you.

We only have a couple of pics of her, but more will be coming.
