Hi all
My Wife and I are building a 43' ship, we've named Sweetie
She is going in the
water in June of 2009, in Westport
Washington
We plan on cruising the inside
passage for our shake down. then going back to
Seattle to our son's boatyard for modifications that we need before the milk run to the 50th State, we will decide where to go from there. We hope to be traveling with our youngest son and his wife, They have a 41'
sloop with a new in boom roller reefing they are very proud of. We would like to meet people who are planning the
cruise in 2010 also, as we like going in groups.
Our ship is fully equipped
freezer, Washer dryer,
water maker, and more
I have built
boats all my life and Juanita have done extensive cruising in the Sound, and some
offshore, however this will be our first th the mid Pacific.
We don't get sea sick and we have well developed sense of humors.
Juanita is the best cook I have ever been married to, actualy the only wife I've been married to.
We have 8
children ranging from Joey 30, to Mona 48. we have 14 Grandchildren, and two great grandchildren.
We have an outside cat that will be cruising with us, her name is
Captain cat. She has been the quality control while I have been building the
boat, she climbs the
aluminum ladder up and down, and has trained me pet her on the way down and when we get to the bottom, she's quite bossy.
Wayne and Juanita
