Bob will add to this section as needs arise...
I was laid up for repairs and hull drying from 2002
through 2004 at Glades Boat Yard approximately 12 miles east
of LaBelle, Florida on the Caloosahatchee.
Finally I was dry enough after Bob had me "peeled" to
remove my blisters (and I was repaired from a second
lightning strike) so it was time to return to water!
My radar was non-functional crossing the Atlantic
from Charleston, SC to Horta, Faial Island so Bob had
the guys from Mid-Atlantic Yacht Services take my mast
down (unfortunately the only way to repair me) and fix a
few electrical items (as well as the radar).
Bob and Tania had not seen my bottom for over three
years and decided it was time to see if I needed some
"spa time". Fortunately only a few minor problems
that were easily corrected. My autopilot repairs
became another story on down the line though...
The autopilot acted up on the crossing from Cascais to
Lagos and required some extensive work over several weeks.
My raw water pump on the engine also started leaking and a
new pump was ordered that never showed up...Oh well...
