Under Sail....finally!
Yep, I know it's hard to believe, but we took 'er out for a full day of sailing! A friend (Mark) and myself took Ceilydh on her first trip with me as skipper.....and none of us is any worst for wear, believe it or not! I know some of you are wondering where we went the first trip so I can tell you we went to Chuckanut Bay, which is about 7 miles south of Squalicum Harbor. We spent a fun 7 hours cruising around Bellingham bay, Chuckanut Bay & New Haven.
We'll be going out again as soon as I can arrange it..... maybe this week!

#2 - Open Water
#3 - Jake on Tiller

OOP's...she be gone!
Hey everyone,
Sorry it's taken so long to update this site.... I've been busy drinkin' expensive rum, workin' on 'Ceilydh' and losing my new digital camera.....ahhhhh
OK, all the rum drinking MIGHT have had something to do with it..........................I said might!
So, I'll fill you in on some of the work I've got done on 'er.
I think I told you about installing the 18 lb plow anchor and bow roller for it. I've made and installed a cabinet door, but still need to stain it. She now has running water and a usable sink, which makes life aboard much nicer.... and easier. I replaced the seat cushion in the main cabin since the old one was like sitting on a rock and yesterday I finally got shore power on the boat. What that means is that no longer is there a 110 volt extension cord going to the boat, she now has a 300 volt cord plugged into the side of the boat, full electrical panel and 2 electrical outlets aboard. I will also be buying an outboard engine when I decide on the one I want to buy.
I will take pictures of this stuff plus my first excursion out shortly(after I earn enough money to replace the camera), in fact I hope it's next week because the following week I will be starting work (had to, she's eating me outta house and home).... as a welder again after all this time...... we'll have to see how that goes.... I'll let cha know.
