and afloat w/ her mast stepped for the first time since i bought her.

me explaining the junk rig to my stepdad [i'm the one with curly hair]


the rigging shop i work in, and out of

and a bit of beauty, the view from my dock...

update w/o pics (sorry)

after much work, (much thanks to Sue!) the sail is on the mast.
no pictures of sue and lou working on shanti were taken(i blame the rum) new photos are on the way (i promise)

well the sail went to uk halsey to be fixed,

shanti is in the water now, pics of that on the way. possibly some that actually show lou too! my truck is gone now, i'm truelly engineless!!!

recently, Christy and Noel interviewed Roger Taylor about his boats and voyages, at the end of the interview he mentions my little boat because they were both in the 2006 jester challenge (before i got her) mine finished 2nd, he turned back early...
