Splash Eve

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.

Hazel’s hull being sanded prior to priming and paint (this work was done by professionals not me).
New paint looks fantastic.
View from aloft. Not sure how the crane operators are going to get her out of the mess of other boats tomorrow morning but I’m sure they’ll figure it out.

  1. 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.

    1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  5. I love it. Such great pics. Sending all good thoughts to you both over there.
    Asfalí taxídia !

    1. 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.

  6. Hazel looks great in her new coat! Have a wonderful start to your Aegean adventure. Can’t wait to read about it 🙂
