Craighill Keeper’s bLog

Hmm… so remember this post from when we met Capt. McBride and he showed us his boat and generously lent us batteries and a spotlight? His generosity didn’t end there! Well, uh, who’da thunk at the time that three weeks later we would be the proud new owners?!?! Yes, sailboat Shibumi (soon to be The Keeper come spring) is hopefully the future Craighill tour boat. Life is certainly funny sometimes. Of course, docking a sailboat there will absolutely require a dock.

Can’t wait til my kids see it! Although, that probably won’t be until the spring as well.

I’ll have more on the new sailboat (1970 Columbia 36′ Crealock) and NPSA awards dinner (which was a blast!) later. Chris and Doug (new NPSA social chairs) were awesome helping me coordinate finding a marina in 3 days and moving the boat to it where they can pull it out for the winter. And hopefully Chris will start posting here too (hint hint!)… I’m waiting for Doug to email pics he took with his camera before doing a full write-up since my camera didn’t have any on the boat with me in them. Oh yeah, and I’m working on finishing the book over the next two days, so I’m really not supposed to be doing anything else!
