Robin and Warren of the Pepi have sold the boat! I'm sure that's a big relief to them as they move off to temporary quarters in Florida while awaiting the delivery of their new Island Pilot DSe.

Our congratulations to Cindy Jones as she gains what I'm sure is a great boat!

It's been a while since we've heard from Bryan and his Escargot... well, he dropped me a note the other day right before heading out on a cruise down to Lake Washington.

A neat twist (which I think would be nice to see more of) is that he has hooked up a blog that he can post a quick picture to remotely. His Big-Velo blog's last several entries allow you to follow along on his trip... really slick (not to mention I really like his boat :-)).

A man (and his dog) are aiming to build a 9' recreation of Joshua Slocum's famous Spray and circumnavigate the world. Not something I'm ready to bite off, but I wish them well!

Make sure and check the picture page and the build log.

An interesting blog of a man cruising on "no money" in a small sailboat. Nice blog to read through and feed your dream.

I’m a 26 year old Australian, currently sailing singlehanded from Holland to Melbourne, Australia on a 26ft British sailing vessel named ‘Constellation‘.

Well, Warren and Robin of the Pepi didn't sell the boat after all, but are moving on with their cruise and waiting for their new boat.

If you are looking for a great, proven Great Loop boat, given them a ring.

The J. & E. Riggin is a beautiful boat that is available for vacation cruises and various fun activities. Recently the boat was vandalized, but has been fixed up better than new and is back cruising.

Our friends with Pepi (originally Brad Indicott's Leah Gent) seem to have sold their boat at last. Now they spend some time waiting on their hull #1 Island Pilot DSe Hybrid.

Congrats and we look forward to hearing more!

An interesting, fairly long term live-aboard blog. Plenty of pictures and fairly long posts. Check it out!

Todd & Brenda Lanning
Todd and I have created this blog to document our adventures over the next few years as live-aboards on our 40-foot Oceania Sundeck Trawler named "Life's2Short." We hope you will check in periodically to find out what we've been up to!

Bryan Lowe (now looking to build a Mundoo), earlier built the Phil Thiel designed Escargot and had some good times with his son.

To me, this design is very Bolger like... check it out for an interesting design, and Bryan's site gives some nice build details to learn from.
