Natalie and I made an offer on a 1979 Cheoy Lee Offshore 41. Below are some pictures and here’s Yachtworld info about the “Miles of View”.
We met the folks off Bella Star
Last week we met Aaron and Nicole off Bella Star. They have a blog over at http://www.svbellastar.com/ that Natalie found and we’ve been reading. It’s cool that they came down to San Diego and we got to meet up for some MXN and a trip over to Coronado to check out the hotel there.
It was good getting to talk to cruisers from Puget Sound. One of the coolest things I took away from meeting them was that I really won’t need all the cruising gear that I think I want. The major thing is a monitor wind vane for boat self steering. They made it all the way down the coast with just an electronic autopilot. Since we’re planning on just doing coastal cruising a windvane seems less like a necessity and more like a nicety.
