Sea Trials

All of the navigation instruments on Foreign Affair have been replaced or refurbished.  Taylor did the installation and calibration.  He joined us for a sea trial to make sure everything was properly working.  Foreign Affair's engine cranked up right away and sounded great during our hour long sea trial. It was a great feeling to be out on the Bay again.  The sun was shining and the temperature was in the high 70s.  Unfortunately, we had removed all the sails.  So, we motored for the hour.  We wished we could have been able to just head out for a few days of cruising; however, this was not possible.  We only have one more day to complete stripping the boat before it is hauled for the winter.

Taylor Working Hard From the Cat Bird Seat

Before heading out for the sea trial, we met with Mike and Sandy who were just closing on Jenny Ann, another Catalina 380.  We met Mike back in 2015 when we were at the Lankford Marina for a couple of weeks.  He went out with us while we were there and really liked Foreign Affair.  Now, he owns one like her.  He already has a buyer for his MacGregor, a 26 foot sloop.  Dwayne spent a little time with Mike going over Jenny Ann and sharing some tips on operation and maintenance.
