hasta luego Black Pearl



Well, it was time to say good-bye to the Cal 30, as the Voyage of Kiri is upgrading to the new trimaran. We sold it to a motivated sailor from the San Luis Obispo area who wants to sail to Hawaii and beyond. I was stoked on his story and felt great about selling him the Black Pearl.

Many fond memories aboard the Cal 30, anchored at UCSB campus point while doing graduate school, rowing in to class, walking out to the beach at 11pm so many nights (sometimes during high tide!)... sailing to the islands and camping...  dodging storms during winter time in East Beach...  staying with friends when the going go rough (thanks scotty!)... too many blissful mornings to count with dolpins and sea lions cruising about.  I loved being able to see the boat from both my office, the bathroom, and the stairwell as we went to class!

Some stories from the Black Pearl's days at campus point can be found here.

Many thanks to everyone.  Hasta luego Black Pearl...
