Yancanuck

Here we are, we have to wait for the water to calm down before we can move the boat into a more protected spot. It is pretty calm in this picture but not tonight it's kind of wild out there. The waves are really hitting the back of the boat hard. The winds are to get up to 30kts, a nasty cold front. Our first night here was so calm and quiet, but last night and tonight...........different story. I know I won't sleep much tonight.

Vessel Name:	Yancanuck
Vessel Make/Model:	Gaff Rigg Schooner
Hailing Port:	Panama City, Fl
Crew:	Tom and Nancy
About:	Tom is a Yankie and Nancy is a Canuck. This is how we came up with the name for our boat Yancanuck. We met two years ago and got married, at the time Nancy had bought a Catalina 30 and came to Panama City on holidays to see her new boat. Tom had already been here for 6 years.
Extra:	The boat was built in Panama City by a man named Marvin Boase. Marvin built everything on the boat but unfortunately didn't ever sail it. He died on the boat. So maybe we have a ghost to deal with! The boat was never really cared for since Marvin's death, but now we are restoring it. It [...] is like the boat has a spirit and says thank you every time we fix something. Just like a house everything you do makes you see something else to fix or make it look better. So far I have made all new cushions, curtains and we painted the inside. We have put all new line on the boat. Re-rigged the boat. Removed and painted both masts. Put in a new head, new anchors, worked on varish. More
