With a 'hats off' to Captain Claes of SV Whiteshell II (and the ever imaginative Lue who inspires me with all her blog innovations) we've set up a page for Captain Kelly to add his thoughts and musings from time to time. If you click the tab "Captain Kelly's Page" it will bring up his first posting. You can then toggle back to the INTREPID II Updates for the more day to day highlights. We've tried to enable the 'comments' section as well if you have anything to add.
Cheers to all. The northers are still blowing strong, but hopefully easing off soon. There are many of us are still at the dock but working through "that list". The Admiral has caught a chest cold and is somewhat out of commission until several cups of hot lemon tea, lots of herbal remedies (perhaps just a wee tot of rum ?) and a bit more rest perk me up to tackle the less taxing sorting, inventorying and other tasks. Thanks to all the family for their well wishes and recommended remedies!
S/V INTREPID II - Cape Dory Intrepid 40
- The Intrepid II Crew
- Intrepid II is a Cape Dory Intrepid 40 sailboat, hull #2, designed by Chuck Paine and discovered by the Captain in Blue Hill Maine in 2006. The crew are Kelly (Captain) and Carol (Admiral and Blogger). In 2009 INTREPID II embarked on her West Coast journey from Victoria to San Francisco, the Baja Sur Peninsula and into the Sea of Cortez. In 2010/2011, we sailed from Guaymas, south to Bahia Banderas and back. In 2011/2012 we left Guaymas, headed south to La Paz, spent three weeks at anchor on our northward journey and rested on the hard in San Carlos. Her 4th, 5th and 6th seasons were Boat Projects related. Season 7 - an incredible amount of boat work - but no cruising. Season 8 - Tropical Storm Sergio toppled Intrepid II in San Carlos dry storage. A disappointing season of serious and costly repairs. Season 9 - continuing those repairs and still hopeful for cruising.
