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!

Boat projects underway in San Carlos - March 2014



At long last, S.V. INTREPID II is getting the TLC she deserves.  After almost a year on the hard in Marina Seca, San Carlos, with a few updates from cruising friends that 'she looks fine', INTREPID II is enjoying the feel of cool water against her hull.  All went well for the 'splash' in Marina San Carlos. Once I clears bit of space in the cabin to eat and sleep the boat projects can begin!


I'm looking forward to seeing cruising friends once again, making new ones and hearing all the stories from this past season.  Looks like a few people have had to postpone their travels for personal reasons, like the INTREPID II  crew, while others are already here to begin putting their boats on the hard.  Communications glitches are still popping up.  There are less than ideal wi-fi connections here at the marina, but that's not unusual.

If you are in the neighbourhood of Dock B, drop by!  Now it's time to get back to work....Kelly
