Bare bottoms, new boots, and a mad dash to the border.
MERCH HERE: https://sailingmoondrifter.com This week we pull the boat out yet again to redo our bottoms, replace our zincs and get new boots for our saildrives. We make a mad dash to the border to pick up some precious cargo missing in action just to get back in time to finish the work and get the boat back in the water. And we finally launched our new Moon Drifter merch!!! MERCH HERE: https://sailingmoondrifter.com ------ Our Story: Six years ago on a surf trip in Puerto Rico, Bill mentioned that he wanted to follow his fathers path to Fiji. Granddaddy had been stationed there during World War II. We fantasized about hopping on a sailboat and sailing around the world. Our imaginations soon turned into interests and those interests grew like a weed. We began reading books, watching videos, and practicing knots. Before we knew it we were signing up for sailing lessons and taking offshore sailing courses. Last year we started looking at boats for sale. Now, nearly 6 years later, we are proud owners of the beautiful vessel, Moon Drifter. Moon Drifter is an extremely well taken care of and maintained single owner catamaran. Her Previous owners, Ralph and Helen, purchased her brand new in 2008 and sailed her seasonally throughout the Sea of Cortez up until they handed over the lines to us in 2021. We love our Seawind and can't wait to continue turning our fantasies into reality and sharing all of our adventures with you. Please Like, Comment, and Subscribe.
