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!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Wednesday, February 14th - Valentine's Day - thinking of all our family and friends who are special to us for very many and very different reasons.  Thanks for sharing our lives, interests and experiences and always being 'behind the scenes' to support our endeavors.

Misty San Carlos morning - so much like the West Coast magical mornings
A few additional photos to brighten your day and ours.  We have so much fun looking out to see who might be passing by our window or visiting the marina.  As well we look to the day to day scenes of San Carlos - always something new to admire or appreciate.  The Catholic church near Marina San Carlos is the site of a 'beautification' effort for the community - a fountain is being built on the square. So not a showpiece yet. I hope the lovely adobe style church is not overshadowed.
