Ocean Girl

Hi There, thanks for inviting me. I like your avatar, very Tao. I like your boat.

I have no idea where it came from. I used to sell boats and a bunch of us guys just started saying it. I has stuck with me since

Hi Ocean Girl

would you mind keeping an eye out for us for a catamaran that is 38' or larger, blue water capable, high bridge deck clearance. My favs are Fontain Pajots and Lagoons.

If you see a hurricane damaged boat that is within reach to repair in a short period of time, please let me know - I saw your post about boats in Kemah

Thanks!!!

Thank you, I have some more photos of the vessel on my laptop, but my hard drive died just before I came back to work so I wasn't able to upload anymore. I don't know who carved the figurehead, they did a credible job. The Skookum, 47 and 53 are designed by Ed Monk Sr. They were built in Port Townsend, WA. They are heavy built hulls and are great sea boats. I have sailed a 47' all over the pacific and was just recently able to obtain this 53' . The configuration I liked is with a 15,000 lb freezer hold, and she is set up for commercial fishing. My logic being, I would like to be able to make a living whilst sailing, so that I don't have to go ashore to try to earn a living there. So once I finish the refit, I'll fish salmon in Alaska in the summer and albacore off the west coast in the fall, and spend the winters in the south pacific. Sorry, long winded, I just get excited about my plans.
