The bottom paint is finally done and ‘Imi Loa is in the water! I haven’t written about our boat buying/transporting experience yet but it was quite a process. It seems like forever since we bought her and today she finally feels like ours.
Now we go to work! There is a long list of things to get done, at the top of the list is getting the engine running better and inspecting our rigging so we can get the mast stepped. Oh, and cleaning!!
Congrats on being finally launched! We’re barrier coating & bottom painting right now…hoping to be in the water in the next week or so, weather permitting. Good luck with the cleaning!
Thanks! I took a look at your blog – that looks like quite a project. I hope the weather cooperates!
We are Devon & Rowan and this site is about our life aboard our sailboat, how we got here, and where we hope to go in the future…
We started our boating life in the Portland Oregon area with an Ericson Independence 31 before moving to the SF Bay area. In 2013 we purchased and moved aboard Casita, our Hans Christian 33. In October 2024 we finally cast off the dock lines and headed south. We are currently cruising Mexico with plans to do a Pacific crossing.
We aren’t retired and we aren’t wealthy so we will cruise until we run low on funds or low on fun and then look at our options. Please join us for this next phase of our adventures together.
