Mayari

Say hello to Mayari. She's a 39 foot sloop sailing vessel, and I bought her about 2 weeks ago. Since that time, I have working hard getting her ready to head south. I didn't find a boat I wanted in Texas or Florida, but stumbled upon this boat in Annapolis MD. I looked at a lot of boats, but this was the one I kept going back to. She's not new, and needs some work here and there, but I've had fun doing the work thus far. So enough blabbing, here are some pictures (I don't have pictures of here sailing yet, but once I get down to where the water is blue I will get some shots and post them.):

Me, cleaning really nasty stuff.




P.S. The name Mayari is in honor of the Tagalog Goddess of the Moon. Here's Wikipedia's account of Mayari: Wikipedia Mayari
