That is what the Everett travel lift operator said it weighed when she was fully loaded and ready for an extended cruise at haul out a few years ago. Hunter has the Passage 42 factory displacement listed at 24,000, but they do not say how equipped. Does that include the mast and all rigging including sails? When she was hauled the water tanks and fuel tank were full plus she was fully provisioned. I thought that seemed heavy, too, but I'm just going by what he said.
So so. The woman is his daughter Holly, who he is now living with for the moment. He had another TIA a bit ago, which has her concerned about his health and ability to live alone on the boat. Therapy seems to be helping, but time will tell. Had John over for dinner on Belle-Vie while at the Anacortes Yacht Club dock this past week. He seems much better, but still has some medical issues to sort through.
That is an interesting issue. Storage is grand on your Belle-Vie but perhaps you should consider a Tap. Would save on bottle or can beer (forbid - heard at Portland Brewfest that no good beer is in cans any more - but these folks were using a large metal keg for a tap so not sure). It might contribute to the ambiance and mystery that is Belle-Vie
And the wine, and the Scotch. Help! I'm over the plimsoll line already.And be sure to include the beer, lots of it, too.
Agree John. My taste leans toward Henry's Blue Boar and Boundary Bay Scotch Ale, both in bottles. I used to prefer Henry's Private Reserve, but it became just too acidic; Blue Boar much smoother.
Hi Michael, yes the timing worked out great except for the chilly temps. Snowed most of the day here, too. Beginning to warm up and the white stuff slowly melting away. Rain later.
