Godfrey and his wife Megan plan to go cruising this summer on the Chief Mungo, along with their friends Bruno Atkey and Mecea in Bruno’s boat Ola Suerte. The latter about to be launched after 20+ years of work. See Builders of the Pacific Coast for the work and lives of these two best friends.

Just to think, those ocean pulses travelled almost 6000 miles to get here. What’s typical is that a boar’s bow line comes loose and all that’s left is the tether at the stern. The water just climbs over the square back part of the boat.
We were lucky to get along with so little damage here. Pic taken down at the dock last week.
