A quick update from the Captain:
"Woke up at 05:00 this morning, motored out of the slip around 07:00 to head to the haul out dock, with just enough time to flush the engine before the marina crew arrived. Thanks to the helpful friends who assisted; always much appreciated! Our stalwart S.V. INTREPID II is once again on the hard in Marina Seca San Carlos. She's resting up, hopefully for future adventures of the passage-making nature."
Kelly advised he made time to provide one more feeding to the feral cats who congregate at the top of the Dock B ramp. He will really will miss these furry, shy friends. Thanks Ken, for carrying on looking after them while you are there. This month went by quickly. Looking forward to seeing all out cruising friends again. Don't forget to stay in touch.
Somehow all the 'coming home' items were squeezed into Rojo Grande. Kelly was on the road out of San Carlos by 10:00 am and headed north on Highway 15. This time he chose to cross the U.S. border through Nogales, Arizona, hoping that border delays would be reasonable. In fact they weren't bad at all. He reached Tucson about 04:00 pm, sttopped for gas and drove on towards Casa Grande. That small community is about half way to Phoenix; a good location to over-night and plan the rest of his route homeward.

I'm 52 and own a Westsail 43 now, and I love it, but the first boat I really fell in love with was an aft cockpit Intrepid 40 while attending the Newport Boat Show in the early 1980's with my dad. I still have the poster! There is almost nothing on the internet showing these aft cockpit versions. Any chance you would post more photos of your boat just so I could enjoy from afar?
If you saw an aft cockpit Intrepid 40 at Newport, this is the one. It was Cape Dory's show boat at the time. If I am not mistaken, it is the only aft cockpit version they ever built, which explains the shortage of information. As we get more pictures, hopefully in exotic places, we will certainly post them.
