After 4 years of sailing Raven up and down the Florida coast and spending hundreds if not thousands of hours working on and caring for her, it's now time to really get her ready. In 2013 she has been re-rigged with new standing and running rigging, new sails from Mack Sails in Stuart FL, new bottom paint, upgraded electronics, long distance wifi, satellite phone, and lots of other little things.

"It's unbelievable how much work it takes to get ready to go RELAX"

I was told by a good friend of mine Jim Swanson that all the time you spend working on a boat does not count against your time here on earth. If that's the case then I need to start thinking about what i may want to do for my 125th birthday ! Jim is 150 years old himself but doesn't look a day over 50..... Then It must be true.
