Mark and I are retired and are living full time on our Gulfstar Custom 50 sailboat. If you are interested in just the boat re-furbishment, see posts Feb. 2009 and older.

the Captain goes on emergency snorkel
The captain went overboard with snorkel gear to check the situation. The chain (on the other boat) was removed from the anchor well and tied to a long rope. This was then fed over our chain then under and back to their boat. The chain was retrieved via the windlass which in turn dragged the their anchor under our hull. They were very grateful that we were calm and competent. What the heck, no new scratches! We untied the lines and off they went….so much for our very first Caribbean ‘raft-up’.
