The Best Day for a Sailor.....

In hind sight I’d made a mistake when traveling to the San Juan islands to find a berth for Ava, my little Cal 29. You see, we planned to sail her up in the spring when the weather and winds would make such a passage possible. I wasn’t looking forward to it, I have no desire to brave the open ocean. I even thought about having her trucked up there.

Our mistake wasn’t going to the islands. The mistake lay in being exposed to all those hundreds and hundreds of sailboats already there. The San Juan islands are a world class cruising area, gateway to the Canadian inside passage. There are boats everywhere! The second mistake was walking the docks to see all of them. Every conceivable type of sailboat in every shape and size. We saw sail boats worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and others worth less then nothing.

While looking at all of those boat on all of those docks the inevitable happened. We found ‘the’ boat. Old but classic, in amazingly good shape for the asking price. Needless to say there are lots of details to go through. I’ll leave you with a picture for now and promise more information next time.
