April 2015
Adoption paperwork is completed and accepted by the State of California, fees paid. Lady B and I are officially family. The first order of affairs has been to remove the debris and numerous items, take inventory of what works, what I will reuse and what to discard. There are tons of systems that are outdated or no longer relevant due to the fact the equipment has been removed and I will not be replacing and/or new designs allow for a streamline and more efficient installation.
First two projects will be, preparing bottom to receive bottom paint and removing the Vetus M3.10 Diesel engine for a rebuild.
Wish me luck.

Lady B is a Rawson 30, Hull Number 86, Built in 1964. She is a stout old girl that circumnavigated from 1994 thru 2001. Her and I are two old sea hangs looking for one more go around.
The Rawson 30 was conceived by Ron Rawson and his wife as a family cruising sailboat commissioned William Garden to design the hull resulting is a boat that is exceptionally roomy and livable and a good sailer.

I adopted her from the yard at San Diego Boat Movers and we have been getting on Wonderfully. The world awaits for us.
