An addition to the fleet

22 June 2012 | Oceanside/San Diego, CA
Capt. Crabby
Being a glutton for punishment, while still in Mexico, I completed the purchase of a Ranger 33 sailboat which was offered for sale by a Marina for unpaid slip fees. I need to thank Lee Pryor and Darwin Southard for their assistance in finding the boat and acquiring it.
It's cosmetically a little rough and had a few mechanical problems, but thanks to Lee and Darwin, these issues are mostly addressed and we sailed the boat from San Diego to Dana Point without incident last week.
The boat is currently in the yard in Oceanside for bottom paint, and Lee and I are going to attempt to paint the hull while it's there.
We're calling the boat "10 More" because that's how many years Jeanette and I want to keep sailing. Wish us luck.
We'll keep you posted on "10 more's" progress.
