Aldonza - New Beneteau Oceanis 38

Pictures of the new boat.  'Aldonza'  (keeping with the Don Quixote references).   Saw her at the Strictly Sail show at Chicago's Navy Pier.   Bought her 2 weeks later.

If winter ever ends here, planning on her first launch during the last week of April





Farewell Rozinante! (sort of.)

We've sold Rozinante - luckily Steve D bought it.  We'll still be fortunate to sail it.   She's a great boat!

Here are pictures from last season's very cold (but quick) sail from Montrose to Waukegan.

25-30kt winds with Barb and Dave


Interesting (and nice) sail with Barb and Dave with 25 knot sustained winds and gusts to 30.    Sailed with genny only and still maintained 5 knots!
