Just finished the replacement of our 30 yr old Espar with another. This completes our 3 yr planned refit!! YEEEAAHHH!! We are ready to go cruising which will commence in July after a trip to Africa. However, we (unexpectedly) have to be back for a college grad and other stuff in Late August.....the family now has fair warning...were gone from May through Sept 2016...in the meantime, the boat is ready for other shorter trips.
