Chelsie and I are preparing to leave tomorrow for our summer in the BVI. We had a wonderful first season in St Thomas and could not be happier with our little yawl. We would like to send our 415 guests that sailed with us this year a warm thank you. It was a pleasure to meet you all and hope that you will come back next year to see what “Wini” looks like after her new paint job.
This past Friday Winifred was hauled out for annual maintenance and freshening up. She will be staying at the Independent Boat Yard in St Thomas. Over the past weekend we striped off all the bottom paint and got her down to bare wood.

An enormous job and something that we never hope to do again. We also have to thank our buddy Nick Dawes who came and helped out on Sunday. I (Kenny) had a little allergic reaction to the bottom paint and could not be near it. More projects will be done off and on this summer and through the fall and Winifred should be back in the water mid October for her 30th season in the Virgin Islands.
