I've had it...I'm sanding the rust stripes off the hull, cleaning the stainless and scraping the 6" long grass that loves our waterline sans the ablative bottom paint.
We said that when it wasn't exciting to wake up to the awesome beauty and appreciate every moment of this adventure, it was time to go home. That is not the reason we are going home. Ran outta money and the boat is getting cramped. We...I mean I am sick of trying to polish a "t---" that really needs to be painted...10 years ago.
In her defense, she's done everything we've asked of her, handled more than we ever could, and never complains...I could learn from Altair.
Now we're really tired...but Altair is gleaming...almost! She still needs to be painted desperately...but we'll just whisper that and she IS doing a great job of getting us home safely!

| 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! |
