Gypsy
Out for a sail
Jeff
11/15/2010, Tampa Bay

We were out for a nice sail in Tampa Bay. As you can see, even though Gypsy is cutter rigged, the previous owners had her set up as a sloop to free up some deck space for coastal cruising. We will eventually convert her back to a "cutter" before we go long distance.

A Boat Needs a Name!

After the whole de-naming / re-naming ceremony, we finally decided how we were gonna put the name on the stern. One of the great things about the Krogen is that she has a nice BIG teak name board on the stern. We decided to go with raised letters so they would "stand out". Once again you can see Lisa working hard.

Renaming Ceremony

Of course we had to change the name of our boat. I am sure most everyone is aware of the "name changing ceremony" that one must go through. We really enjoyed the "de-naming"ceremony, followed by a proper christening. Note: Point the champagne bottle away from EVERYTHING... My Dad just so happened to be in town visiting from Texas and was more than willing to assist using his deep "radio" voice that has served him so well over the years in the radio and television business. Thanks Dad!
All went well and hopefully we did everything right. Time will tell.

This is another of the reasons we love this boat. Flat deck with great visibility.

Teak Work

As you can see, Lisa has been very busy doing teak work. She is very good at it. This huge cockpit was one of the reasons we love this boat. Anybody got a "frisbee"?

Yes, it does look like you're very good at it Lisa. Do you have any tips? Cx
