We went for a sail one day last summer

The pirate invited the lady out for a pleasant day aboard Gondwa Naland, a 16 foot cuddy cabin sloop and occasional pirate vessel.

That day, the seed was planted that rapidly grew into a dream of high adventure and romance - and it is already near at hand.
The pair began a search for a live aboard pirate vessel to claim as their own. Several promising candidates were considered. The favorite was a beautiful Endeavor 32.

The weather prevented the couple from promptly pursuing this wonderful vessel. They were prepared to brazenly go forward with this beauty despite the horrible winter that sucked the vitality out of all of New England, but alas, twas not to be. As time wore on there were other boats considered and discounted, until the joyous pair were blessed to meet the beautiful Irwin 32 CC, Moonshadow. 

The Irwin quickly won over the lady and the pirate and they were firmly convinced of the rightness of their choice.Where the Endeavor was a wonderful sailing vessel prepared for serious offshore adventures, the Irwin brought living quarters capable of providing a long term home.



With joy in their hearts, the happy couple aquired the Irwin and began planning in ernest.
They have yet to see her in person. The next step is to travel from Boston to her home port in Portsmouth, VA to make her acquaintance and step aboard. That will  happen the weekend of March 4.
