SeaShell

On June 3rd, I bought my first-ever, new-to-me sailboat (Challenger 23') from Rob S. at Shearwater Yacht Club. The boat, named SeaShell, is in excellent condition, and I was very excited with the acquisition. However, the need to deliver boat to Liverpool (140 kms) was overwhelming.

I finally departed on Sunday July 2nd with a sailing friend (John H.), but we motored to Sambro. My father accompanied me for the next two days, and we successfully motored the boat to Liverpool through fog, wind, and heavy seas. Quite the journey, and SeaShell is happy at its new home at Brooklyn Marina.

I look forward to sailing the boat for the first time in the coming weeks.
