For a number of reasons we have decided to return to the US having spent nearly six months here in Mexico. The primary reason is that we are running out of money and need to work.
So we are hauling out Grace in a local boatyard in La Paz and storing her on the hard until we decide what to do next, also with mixed emotions we have listed her for sale with the local yacht brokerage.
The future holds many possibilities for us, including coming back next December and putting her back in the water, if she does sell I hope she finds new owners who will love her as much as we have. In the meantime I will be working in San Francisco at Adventure Cat at Pier 39, it seems that it is my destiny to always return to Pier 39, Heather and Liam are flying to Tacoma in the next few days and will stay there until I get some accomodations arranged in SF. We are considering buying a powerboat to liveaboard, I know shock and outrage and all that but basically you get a lot more living space per linear ft and a 44ft Hatteras has about twelve times the usable space that Grace has and Grace is around 45ft overall , mostly bowsprit and skinny ends.
We did have another trip up into the sea.
Pictures to follow
