West Coast of Vancouver Island, BC

On August 14 Susan and I will be traveling from Port Townsend, WA to the west coast of Vancouver Island.  Updates and photos to follow.

Summer Place

Charleston Marina, Charleston, Oregon

Summer Place is a Hallberg-Rassy 42F.  She was built in Ellos Sweden in April, 1997.  I bought her in Seattle in the winter of 2009 from an owner that had not used her for a few years.  After a very extensive survey a long list of repairs was handed to me.  Now in the summer of 2012 that list has been completed and more.  All the standing rigging and running rigging have been replaced. A line stripper was installed on the shaft.  A spare prop is stored on board. A new Mastervolt charger/inverter was connected.  All the plumbing has been serviced.  New main and 125% genoa were built by Hasse Port Townsend Sails.  Transmitting AIS was installed with feeds to the Raymarine C-120 and navigation computer.  Pactor III modem was added to the ICOM 710 SSB radio.  All new 3/8" BBB galvanized 375' anchor rode attached to 60lbs CQR anchor. Added a removable inner fore stay and new storm jib with removable running back stays.  The AB 9.0 aluminum dinghy rides up front.  And much much more.
