It has been a very unusual last couple of weeks but we have a good explanation. Please stand by for another day or so and we will give a good update on all the goings on.
Still in Stuart, Fl but not for too much longer we think. Marty and Kathy stopped by the other day to look at boats and we have watched a couple of SU wins. We feel bad for Phil & Cathy......what happened to the Packers???
Much nicer here than in Syracuse!!!

Grey Hound
After 7 years of owning one of the best sailboats in the world we have decided to make some changes in our lives and it results that we are moving to a larger sailboat in the near future. Sadly this means that we will have to sell our beloved F-33 that has served us so well. With nearly 12,000 miles under her kneel she is now set to give a new owner years of fun and enjoyment.
Our Farrier F-33, hull #7, Grey Hound was built in Australia by Keals Marine and deliver to us in NY via a container in November 2004. We put her together in Winter Harbor Marina during the winter of 2004/05 and her maiden launch was in May 2005 with Ian Farrier present.
