Interested in Exploratorius’ Boat?
This is a great looking Pearson 30 that I know he’s taken great care of because I’ve seen the photos and read the stories about it,,,,and he’s got a cool orange Portland Pudgy. ‘m out again as you read this at another Boat Show, this one in Newport Beach, California. Should be a great show […]
Look for this in a SailBoat Surveyor
Whether you hired the Surveyor to look at your boat, access a boat you want to buy or someone else hired them to assess your boat (to smell the sweet perfume of boat sale), there are common things to look for in a surveyor. I’ve been through several survey’s now and in my own little […]
Q & A: How do you recharge?
Simple Question: How do you recharge your personal or spiritual batteries? For me, it’s time with my family , time on the boat or time traveling (we have lots of wanderlust as a family). What a privilege it was to be able to spend an hour or so with my family and a couple […]
Hunter Sailboat Discussion
I was able to go see Tulum IV this weekend. She looks good. We still have some minor systems to work on, but for the price we’re asking right now, I think buyers looking for a great boat at a great price may understand and want to just take care of those repairs for themselves. […]
Hard work getting Tulum IV ready to sell!
Have we put in some work to get our boat ready for sale,,,,heck yes. Take a look through these pics and other posts about getting her ready and updated for sale- and, she is ready for sale and I’m willing to listen to all offers, cause we want to buy a bigger sailboat. Here’s where […]
Bottom Paint really does make a difference
Uhhh, I usually come home at night and write posts to be published the next morning,,,but I am totally exhausted tonight. You remember the old jingle from the commercial for Men’s Warehouse,,,,”What a difference a day makes”? Well, what a difference some bottom paint and TLC have made to our boat. Tulum’s Bottom Paint Job […]
General Patton’s Sailboat!
I had no idea before reading this post from “Have Wind Will Travel” that General Patton was a sailor or that he actually owned several different sailboats. Always an adventurer, General Patton caught the sailing bug after a sailboat trip from California to Hawaii, after which he bought the sailboat in this post. This is […]
New Bottom for Tulum
As I’ve said in another post, third time for an offer on our sailboat will be a charm, but we’re actively working to make it happen if I can. I was considering/thinking that lowering the price of the boat to spark interest might be just what we needed going into the spring time, but not […]
If you’re in the Caribbean, help this family find Dove II-
I would love to start murmuration (the act of murmuring) throughout the Caribbean with these posts to create a strong lookout for Dove II,,,,as she WILL eventually show up somewhere off the Caribbean or South American shoreline,,,,someone just has to remember or care who she belongs to. Nearly a month ago I posted a story about the […]
Third Time’s a Charm!
Several weeks ago we received another offer on Tulum IV and but the offer fell through. It’s frustrating as we know the boat is offered at a fair price and we know we’ve done the work needed to make her shine, purr and show well. Since putting her on the market in October, we’ve installed […]
