Southbound… and Northbound…

/in /by

What a weekend.  We just had a great trip out of our San Diego school aboard our J/120 on a liveaboard cruising class.  For this one, we headed down to northern Baja and Ensenada.  Great weather, perfect company, and the full range of diversions (submarines, dredges, warships, islands, dolphins, whales… ) made for a fantastic trip.

The J/120 lights it up on a sweet
beam reach, bound for Mexico…
Meanwhile, back at the ranch…
There’s the mighty Hula Girl looking pretty naked.  In the shed, just before the iconic graphic got peeled from the transom.  Don’t worry, she’ll be back.

The refit is moving along.  When we say we are re-doing everything, we mean everything.  Here’s the bow with the new glassed over hull/deck seam (got rid of the old aluminum rails).  Pretty slick.  More reports soon…  but we still have space in the Newport to Cabo race aboard this turboed 50 footer in March.  She’s going to be better than new, in a big way.  Details here.

All the best,
