Moving... arrrrrh

16 September 2010 | Bremerton
Heather/light rain Wind SE 0.5 kts
We are selling the little weekender sailboat we got to do some Pac NW sailing. She's a great boat, snug and dry. Preparing for the move is not allowing me to post, and frankly, until we get to Pensacola, there's not much "boatie" to post! If anyone wants to hear about preparing fr this kind of move, just tell me in the Comments area. Otherwise, see you in mid-October!

We are going to miss this place and these people. They are wonderful neighbors and friends, and we could be happy living right here. But that's not The Plan for the next 3 years, anyway.

For Sale: Columbia T-23, 1974, hull # 236, dry, tight, working outboard, new engine mount, sleeps 4, VHF, excellent weekender, all sails.

Vessel Name: Parallax
Vessel Make/Model: 37' Prout Snowgoose (1982)
Hailing Port: Pensacola
Crew: Derek, Heather and Grant
About:
Two astronomers, looking for variable stars and adventure. After cruising the Caribbean aboard S/V Paradox for 18 months in the early 90s, the crew swallowed the anchor and had a child, always planning their next Great Adventure: cruising under sail with Grant, showing him the world. [...]
Extra:
We knew that if we ever got a catamaran, we'd want a name to celebrate her twin-hulledness. Parallax is seeing the same thing from two slightly different points of view, which with our two eyes is what gives humans our depth perception. It's also a good metaphor for one of the benefits of marriage. [...]
