- About Me:
- We bought our 1970 Cal 34 (hull#314) in 1988. Sailed the Texas Gulf Coast, bays and Intracoastal. Relocation took the boat to Lake Texoma for a few years and then we decided to restore/update inside and out. Have learned a lot so far and willing to share the knowledge and challenges. Certainly will be seeking advice as we continue the process.
- Current location:
- On the hard, restoration/updating systems near San Antonio, TX
- Looking to:
- Get her back in the Gulf Coast within a year or so to pick up where we left off. Great sailing area/community and a fun, comfortable boat to enjoy time on the water.
