Vagabond Comparisons
We lucked out with getting to see a Vagabond here for “comparison sake” before she’s been put on the market. We realized pretty quickly that we actually liked the layout of the boat in spite of the potential massive amount of work to change out the current fuel and water tanks. So,,,on Saturday our crack […]
Great Service in Point Loma, San Diego

They […]
Mistress For Christmas?
Yep, you can buy a Mistress for Christmas if you want. I’m talking about a boat,,,,of course. I hope no one gets offended (especially my wife) when I talk about a boat as a bit of a Mistress (I have NO experience with this). Tulum (our sailboat) is still for sale and is featured […]
