    Hi Rebecca, I was just thinking about you and Bill just this minute. I was getting my camera ready and found some old pics of our day on the light houise at Hope Town. When are you going to the Bahamas this year? We want to meet up with you. We are thinking about the first week in June. We could really explore some new places.
    I have seen your articles in sail as well as the local sailing magazine. Good stories!
    I don't think the picture attached too well. let me know

    Have enjoyed your articles that I have read. Always makes me look twice if I see a yellow hull.

    Photo of Angel in her last routine haulout for bottom paint, but turned out not to be routine haul as I had to build a new rudder.

    Rebecca,

    Nice boat, I love the Bayfields. There's something about a small boat with a bow sprit / pulpit. There is a 29 Bayfield at my marina that I have been coveting for as long as my boat has been there.
    Thanks for the articles.

    Hi, glad to see another Bayfield owner on here. I sail in Lake Erie from Harbor View Yacht Club when the water is not "hard", you know ICE. I have had 2 Bayfields and ever since I saw one back in 1980 have wanted no other boat.

    Hi Rebecca, I believe that we may have the same boat. Mine is a 1974 model that was originally marketed as 30/32, and as you know later evolved into the 32C with the taller mast. There is a line drawing on this web site in the picture section of most of the Bayfield family. Mine draws 3'9", perfect for the waters around Pcola, Mobile, and Perdido bay. I've owned her for about 4 years now, replaced most mechanicals, installing A/C this winter and doing a little cabnet work. Get your map out,...I'm just inside Perdido Pass on the Alabama Gulf Coast. I'm on duty now at the FD, planning a weekend trip with some friends to Pcola Beach on Friday. Where are you now?
