For those who might be interested, I have passed RENDEZVOUS (Canoe Cove 53) forward to her new owner. I believe she will remain in the Pacific Northwest, possibly berthed out of Anacortes, WA. Very sorry to see her go, as she served me well for the 12+ years I owned her. With lots of life left, I believe she will serve her new owner well also. I wish him fair winds and following seas!
RENDEZVOUS has been replaced with SPIRIT BEAR, a Pacific Trawler 40, born in 2000. An obviously MUCH simpler (and smaller!) boat, having but a single engine, single generator, no watermaker, no washer and dryer, etc etc. But with more than adequate accommodations and performance to suit my wife and I. She has her usual assortment of warts (she's a boat, of course), none of which prevent immediate use as-is. Winter will be spent bringing her to my satisfaction, followed by further ventures into the wilds north in the PNW.
I post this only to avoid confusion with my Avatar, which I will change soon. My thread (ONE PROLONGED), which is of course the international sound signal designating a change of status for a vessel (moored to underway, for instance), sort of matches my current status as well. While properly used by the skipper when departing a dock, I thought it was sort of appropriate.
Regards,
Pete
