Jon - Cold (49)
Well, its been a while. Since our last post, a lot has happened:
- We moved to Beaufort to a cute little 2 bedroom cottage
- Hauled the boat during hurricane season and did a lot of work, finally getting to some cosmetic work
- Put down a permanent anchor in Taylor's creek to keep the boat safe
- Bought a 17ft skiff to explore the shallow waters around the islands of Beaufort Inlet and also to get to/from Audrey
- Michelle started and is almost finished with her bachelors (straight As at the moment)
- I've been busy all year with the boat and superbike school

We've posted a new gallery which shows the boat on its new mooring. We're now all set to go sailing - will post some more once the weather gets back into the 50s and we go somewhere.

Good news is - boat is now - finally - in really good shape, has independent electric power courtesy of an Air-X marine wind generator, and a number of other upgrades and fixes. Still have a long list - but now the list is mostly small things (is there a boat owner out there without a long work list?)
All for now

About: Jon & Michelle have been sailing since 2007, starting in Monterey Bay in California with a Pearson 30, then upgrading to a Hunter 44DS which we lived aboard for a year, before moving back to the east cost and to their newest boat, Audrey, a 1981 Pearson 367 Cutter.
Extra: Having lived aboard during 2007 in California, Jon & Michelle moved to a cabin in the Catskills in NY, and spent two winters in Beaufort, NC, where we moved permanently in April 2010, so now we have a cottage and our boat in Beaufort.
