For those who have followed this blog of my adventures on my
S2 9.2C, S/V Sea Fever, over the past
two years, there has been a significant change in my vessel. I truly enjoyed all my time on my 30’ S2, but
circumstances arose in late October which allowed me to ‘move up’ to the “new” S/V Sea Fever- a 1986 Gulf 32! Good friends, Paul and Pam, had decided to
move aboard their boat full-time, so have “gone to the dark (or at least
twilight)-side”, buying a 42’ Present trawler, and needed to sell their
Gulf. While I had not planned to upgrade
for another year or so, this opportunity would not come again…you see… I know
how well Paul and Pam keep their vessels, and the types of updates and upgrades
they make to them… they were previous owners of my S2! I purchased the Gulf in early November (and
sold the S2 shortly thereafter) and have been slowly getting accustomed to her
and making her my own…though I have to admit that I have not yet left the dock-
much to the disappointment of my many friends here at the Cooper River
Marina. This will soon change- I have
promised myself. However, I am not yet
sure if I will be making the annual southern migration this year- only time
will tell.
Anyway, as we leave 2013 and sail into 2014, I wanted to
initiate blog of the Adventures of the ‘new’ S/V Sea Fever. Following are some pictures to get things started.
I hope everyone has a wonderful 2014 and enjoys their time
on the water as much as I know I will!
