Vagabond

I guess from time to time most sailors think about getting a motor boat, most often it's when we're slogging to windward, soaking wet with the rain lashing down, at times like that it's nice to imagine sitting below in the wheelhouse aboard something like this, watching the weather and the wet yachtsmen go by.

The picture, taken into the sun, doesn't really do justice to that lovely canoe stern. Vagabond as she's called was out on the hard last year but alas crowded in by other boats it was impossible to get good pictures, I'll have to keep trying.
