Now is the time to come to the aid of our country!

I am posting the Garmin tracker link even though we are not setting sail till October 1st more or less due to weather. https://share.garmin.com/OGMMG . Keep on keeping on……

This is Elskan our boat we had prior to Sosiego. She had sailed the sea of Cortez prior to our ownership. She is a Carl Alberg design and was a great sailor (forward). Though she would not back down to save your life. Our first night at anchor was a test of our marital skills. I tried repeatedly to back her down to set the anchor with no success. Debbie insisted on trying with equal results. She was sea worthy and nimble but she had a bad tendency to leak. Not a dry boat at all. the stuffing box always leaked because the cutlass bearing was bad and strange drips from who knows where sprouted from the coach roof.

This was the love boat! (literal translation of elskan).

We found her through Latitude 38 a local sailing magazine. Her owners had been there and done that . Sent us off with a bottle of whiskey and red wine and here we are today set for the next adventure into the unknown!
