S/V INTREPID II - Cape Dory Intrepid 40

My photo
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. 2024 - well cruising plans certainly have been dashed the past few seasons!

Family and celebrations - November 2010

Almost too artistic to eat!
I was thrilled to learn that my sister had an opportunity to drive out from Alberta with a friend to spend time with me last week. This was a special treat! I am so relieved that they arrived home last weekend after a long and trying drive back home through mountain passes and icy conditions, before the weather really turned daunting and even more wintry.

Victoria was not quite at her finest while they were here, but they enjoyed revisiting the city and surrounding areas.  I was treated to an early birthday dinner and have to share pictures - almost too good to eat.  Thank you Teri!
My birthday dessert!
