Sailing a 1981 Catalina 38. "Tranquility" is a delight to sail. I have owned this boat for 12 years. When traveling, I take the opportunity to sail rental boats on various lakes and coasts. From the Chesapeake, to it never hurts to learn different rigs, and waterways to expand your experiences.
Current location:
Mast Head Marina, Grand Lake, Ketchum OK
Destinations visited:
Sailed in San Diego, Lake Michigan, Chesapeake Bay, Salulita Mexico and various inland lakes.
Looking to:
keep "Tranquility" looking great as she is a great sailing boat that I have had many great weekends on with family and friends.
