A quick homage to our darling Margalo. It is with bittersweet joy that we sold our wonderful boat, a 1983 Catalina 30 that we bought from our good friend Peter (grew up together sailing and schooling together). Our family so enjoyed sailing up and down the Chesapeake for 3 years! Fondest memories (still fresh!) of Friday night races, overnights at anchor, ARC DELMARVA 2015, and lazy days on the Bay! Margalo is the name of the bird in Stuart Little that reciprocates life saving adventures with Stuart. We thank God for our safe travels and pray that new owner Stan will continue to enjoy her as we did! I did a tremendous amount of work on the boat and learned a great deal in a short period of time. Here's the quick sampling:
