Great to hear from Honolulu, I lived in the Ala Wai Marina from 1958 to
1960,
had a houseboat in those days & life was sweet there.
Had many friends & met many new people in transit, especially
during Trans Pac.
Often I would wake in the morning to find a new boat
had arrived next to me in the night, to find a new neighbor on their way
to Tahiti or other places, great people.
Please forgive a old guys rambling, just reliving happy days,
I now sail a Monty 17 on Galveston Bay, you will love your Monty..
Aloha
Wayne

Subject: M_Boats: Aloha from Honolulu!
Hello everyone. Ron and I recently purchased Little Breeze (15'), here in
Honolulu. Michael Mann sailed her across the Pacific over twenty years ago
and I
thought you'd be interested to know that we rescued her from obscurity a
few
weeks ago. I found her alone and neglected down at the other State marina.
We purchased her through the brokerage who had her up for sale and brought
her back to the Ala Wai marina right away. We are live-a-boards on a 46
foot
Cal motorsailor in the marina.
I have pictures posted on my blog and there are earlier stories where I
wrote about her trip home. I titled them "The Little Boat That Could".
There are
pictures of her in the photostream on the blog and also under my photo
albums
in the drop down menu. The album is LITTLE BREEZE.
We lost the centerboard last weekend but have a new one on order through
Montgomery. We took her out sailing without the board which was fun even
if we
couldn't maneuver with much agility in the high seas and winds.
Since Mike had her rigged for a long journey and had many additional items
designed into her, Ron's been in contact with Montgomery to find out what
to
replace and how to rig her for our use. She has the original mainsail
which is
a little worn for wear but functional, along with six other sails. Mike
had
every sail imaginable for the conditions he might encounter, I'm sure.
Hope this finds the group well and happy and getting ready for a summer of
sailing,
Regards,
Jennifer Tiernay
