In our move to Florida we found that most boats in the tropics are pretty beat up and would need a few months of work to be ready to cruise or live on. Seeking guidance from our friends back in San Diego we found out they were considering selling their well maintained  catamaran. The boat resides in the slip next to our former slip on "I" dock at the club.

After looking at their boat from our boat as we went in and out, or just enjoyed our cockpit after racing, for the last few years....now we will be looking at the world from her decks!

So once again we embarked on a trip to cross this great country of Texas, er, I mean, USA. :-)

Rocky's preferred sleeping location en route is on my co-pilot seat with me, facing backwards on his head rest.

We stopped in Fairhope, AL to visit Aunt Dee, Dick and family. Renewing family ties enriches our lives and this visit did not disappoint! We delighted in tales of boating, spearfishing and family history along with meeting my cousin's beautiful young family.

Dinner at sundown--all the gulf seafood you can handle.

Drum roll please! We arrive to San Diego to survey the boat! Better photos to follow! Could Rocky's Ocean Adventure be upon us??? We even have a new sail on order!

2004 Lagoon Catamaran

All ready for cruising with solar panels, dinghy, water maker and more!

The original owners in Seattle cruised the boat with their small children. Her name is Sun Baby. The name might be going with the sellers...we are working on a name!

Home sweet home.

Stay tuned.....cruising within the month?? Can Beth find home at sea? Will she venture past the Sea of Cortez? Can she make it to Panama, the Caribbean and then to Florida? Will Larry go right instead of left, to the Marquesas? The suspense is unending....first, let's have breakfast....
