Hi All --
Just joined the board today. I own Betty Lou, a 1979 deep fin
keel Tartan 37, moored in St. Helens,
Oregon on the
Columbia River. I am the second owner, having purchased the
boat three years ago. She is well found, and the PO kept her in immaculate condition.
I've had Betty Lou off shore for two passages up and down the
Washington coast. The last trip was to Barkley Sound on the
West coast of
Vancouver Island. Plans are to go North as often as possible, with a
circumnavigation of
Vancouver Island, a visit to the Queen Charlottes, and
extended cruising in SE
Alaska ahead of us.
Currently reworking a lot of systems, have rewired the AC, replaced the fresh
water plumbing, added a computer based nav system, and am planning to add a
diesel furnace. Of course the list goes on and on... new
dodger,
sails, updated
electronics, etc etc etc.
