After days of trying to get my blog log in correct I finally succeeded. What annoys me is that I finally succeeded after admitting my failed attempts to a fellow sailing friend and blogger. At least I answered her inquiry about writing up my adventure purchasing a Marples 35 foot tri in the Rio Dulce.
I guess with my log in back in order I'm ready to tell my story. Just to give you a taste, my journey actually culminated this afternoon while sailing with Jim Brown. If you aren't familiar with Jim then I suggest you look up his book, "A Case for the Cruising Trimaran." It should be a mandatory read before purchasing a cruising book. His two volume memoirs is written in a more friendly, social tone with his wry sense of humor adding levity to his non-conforming lifestyle.
If you do a search for "Marples 35 Trimaran for Sale" you will find a picture and video of my boat. At least that should hold you over until I take the time to write a more intriguing story of how I met an otherwise total stranger in the Atlanta airport. We then flew to Guatemala, rode the 5 hour bus to the Rio Dulce followed by 5 pleasant days at the Hotel Catamaran.
Oo-la-la or not, do stay tuned.....
