It’s Sunday May 19 and we’re hoping to launch Hazel James tomorrow in Lavrio, Greece. Please stay tuned for updates. Hazel has a new paint job and is looking trim. She’s also got a new tracker aboard so you should be able to see our location in near real-time.
We’ll likely spend a day or two on the water in the Lavrio harbor and then set sail northwards in the Aegean.
Fair winds and following seas.



She travels. I miss all of you
We miss you Lisa and look forward to getting together this winter. Sunny and Rhett send their best!
We were down in Nassau recently and as I looked out to the sea, I thought of you. Glad you’re well. Keep the pics coming.
Thanks Pete. Love the Bahamas. I think one of the best kept (and closest) secrets in the US.
Thanks Peter. Funny I just replied to Pete Buch as well. So often when we’re sailing and it’s quiet, my mind drifts back to Chautauqua days.
She looks fantastic!!! Safe travels!
Thanks Terri. LOL I probably never would have painted her but Rhett prevailed and now I’m so happy she did.
Paint job looks great!
Thanks so much Steve. Hope you and yours are well.
The boat is so shiny and such a great color! What a view from the mast? Doubt I would’ve managed a camera way up there. Enjoy your reunion.
Lisa, yes it was my phone camera and I managed to not drop it
Safe travels you two. I’m heading to Menorca, Spain tomorrow. So I’ll be on your side, the world for a short time. Look forward to catching up.
Hello ! We wish you a nice trip ! We also began our own blog (in French…, but translate into English is easy) : luthiweb.ch
Cordiales salutations ! Sylvie
Thanks Sylvie. I will check it out!
I love it. Such great pics. Sending all good thoughts to you both over there.
Asfalí taxídia !
Randall Newsome! So good to hear from you and looking forward to connecting someday. We had such a good time with Mike and Sarah in Istanbul.
Thanks Randy!
Hazel looks great in her new coat! Have a wonderful start to your Aegean adventure. Can’t wait to read about it 🙂
Thanks so much Craig.
Safe travels and fair winds.
Thanks Burt! Hope all is well.
