Ship’s Log

Notes on our adventures aboard Rainshadow

First Solo Sail

  • by

We’re having lovely late winter weather – sunny 50ish degree days, and a decent north wind, just like in summer (though its 20-30 F warmer then!)

So finally, after nearly 4 months of boat ownership, we took our boat out for a proper sail – alone.

Rainshadow’s Arrival

  • by

Thanksgiving day meant more this year, as this was the day that the wind cooperated so we could bring Rainshadow to her new home.

Full crew included: Van the captain, Marilyn the favorite mate, Damien the deckhand and Luke the college-student-home-for-the-holidays swabbie. Sid & Stephanie, Rainshadow’s former owners, came down to the docks for some last words of advice and a fond farewell to their well loved vessel.

Purchase Closing Date

  • by

Today, the deal to purchase Rainshadow is officially closed. We now are boat owners again.
