31 December 2009 | Clark's Court Bay Marina
Becca
We were a little concerned about our New Year celebration and our 10th Anniversary!

Our outboard decided to quit after being 'pickled' during our marina stay from July 8th to the 16th of December! It's in the shop and the nice guy in his taxi boat that towed us yesterday, said he would take us to the party tonight if we needed it! We hadn't heard so I got on the radio! "If anyone is going to Clark's Court Bay for the New Year's Eve Party could we have a ride?" We waited for what seemed a very long time when Len and Yanna, S/V Present offered to pick us up and take us! Whew!

The rest is history! We had a wonderful time, with Miss Kitty, Jenny, Bob (the owner) all making the arrangements for a really fun night! They gave everyone a heads up, hehe, and said there was going to be a hat contest!

I won! (the calabash was planned to be a lampshade for our davis cockpit light when I got the dremmel out) but this is the first debut for the calabash which will be locked into Altair's history!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, FELIZ ANOS NUEVO, BONNE ANNEE!

Vessel Name: Altair
Vessel Make/Model: Tartan 34'
Hailing Port: Coconut Grove Sailing Club
Crew: Dudley Clark and Becky Butler
About: Dudley has owned this Tartan sloop and has been cruising on her since 1986. Becky joined the good sloop back in 2000 when we first started cruising together and he has been 'training' me ever since! I couldn't be happier! I've been sailing all my life, but cruising is a whole different fish!
Extra: This is the most extended cruise we've braved on this wonderful, old boat of ours which is planned to be about 2 years! We left Miami in late February of 2008 and want to get below the hurricane belt by the end of July! Ok, so it's July, 2011...we're close, but not home yet!
