Thanks for the kind words of encouragement! Our DE 38 is coming back from the scrappers yard but I have had a lot of dock walkers who have paid her compliments. I did fall for her lines and that was that.

Completed the full on mechanical refit and got underway Labor Day 2016, the cosmetics are an on going process that I'm doing along the journey.... 

For all you Down East sailors still working a refit.... trust me, the effort is worth it, besides being a great boat ...they turn heads in every harbor. 

Here is a shot from a buddy boat of me making way into Key West, en-route to the Dry Tortuga's for Thanksgiving and out for a daysail with the Lads from Marathon Florida
