Why A CD?
A friend took us sailing overnight to pulpit harbor in Maine.
My wife, son and I had a WONDERFUL time. Ginny and Rob had owned their Intrepid 28 for a meer 25 years (2nd owner) and still
had a love for the boat... Travelled extensively and did a stint living on board for a few months..
The only difference for me is that I wanted a wheel instead of a tiller.
I googled the same boat and one was for sale a meer 20 miles away in excellent shape with a wheel...
I honestly think it was meant to be...
after 5 years, I still love this boat but recently purchased
a 19' Com-Pac so the kids (21 And 26) could take it with their friends to the local lakes or harbors... I am not ready to turn
the CD over to them, plus Salem/marblehead is a pretty rocky area taking a little care with chart in hand.
