Ahoy !

Just thought I'd say hello, finally ...

Bought "Jerezana" at the very end of the summer of 2013 in Belfast. ME.

Trucked her to a shed in Bristol, RI that winter, where my son has a custom boat building concern:

Finally got her to her current home at Boston Shipyard Marina (slip F23) in East Boston (inner harbor) by last July.

Getting used to sailing again (extensive small boat sailing as a teen). Mostly single handing. Stayed pretty close to home all last summer, hope to venture forth, south or north, a few times this summer.

She's in good shape basically, solid little boat. I added some new electronics (B&G radar, plotter etc), tailing winches, spiffed up the brightwork.

PO (s) took good care of her. Cores all dry. Original YSM 8 (*&^%$# loud!!).

Her name goes back by at least two owners, and I kind of like the (exotic ?) ring of it, plus superstitious about renaming vessels. I like the idea that I am her temporary caretaker.

Give me a shout (cell# 508 250 1164) ... there was a CD 31 at my marina at the beginning of the summer (forgetting name - started with a "T"), but she was sold and vanished.

cheers ... Fred Mueller

Hi, Fred. We'll watch for you in Boston Harbor and especially around the Harbor Islands.

Beautiful boat.

@ Neil,

Bound to bump into you eventually ...

@ Jacob,

That stink pot sat up on that pier next to us most of the summer saving on gas I guess - in better days that used to be a military pier. Parts of the waterfront here are pretty beat up - I kind of like it - lots of "atmo" . Plus the marina itself has a pretty large live-aboard contingent, which adds color, and dilutes the snobbery you get across the harbor where all the shiny boats are berthed.
