RE: Now: Some Cal content-'passage'
Funny.
It’s on the Mexican coast, south of PV. Remember Shawshank Redemption? That’s were Andy and Red met up.
Anyway, the skipper is Patrick Murphy and his 1st mate, Davey Jones. Yes, he is aware of the coincidence and they are making their way around, eventually through the Panama Canal, on the Samson C-Lord hull made of ferrocement.
I think she’s 60’ or so LOA. Came over from Kauai a few years back.
I’ve been on her a few times, sailing in the SF Bay out of Berkeley and when she was anchored off of Capitola, CA then Monterey, CA.
Big, working boat!
They will be ready for at least a drink, but I don’t have any idea when they will arrive.
No schedule..just enjoying life for now.
I keep up via e-mail.

“Zehuatinejo?” Should I say “Gesundheit!”?
Boat looks seaworthy. A Modified 46? I look forward to meeting the folks.
Cheers

I tried sending this earlier but I got a rejection.
The guy I bought my Cal 2-25 from subsequently purchased this: https://lyonsimaging.smugmug.com/Cruising/G-M/Makoa-Kai-Hele-2109/i-CCK6xhG
The Makoa Kai Hele
He’s now sailing south, around to the Chesapeake. Yeah…from Berkeley, CA to Annapolis.
I’ll have him find Charlie when he gets there. Presently, he’s relaxing in Zehuatinejo.
He’s tough..smart and after several tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, he’s seen a lot of stuff.

Hey Ben,
Your comment you were living aboard prepping for a passage to Hawaii captured my attention. I am living aboard in Friday Harbor readying for some passage making. Hawaii is for me a someday. right now I am just looking to get somewhere warm.
Good sailing,
Marcus

Thanks to all for replying! It's great to know there's a community of Cal 34 owners out there to exchange information with.
Things are pretty busy with work at the moment, but I'm currently living aboard and trying to prepare Serafina for a Hawaii crossing in approx. two years. So I'm sure I'll be making use of your knowledge in the future!
Cheers,
Ben
