Emseralde Gets Ready for Summer 2008

This will be another Newport-Bermuda Race for us, double-handed once again.  She splashed on Wednesday, April 23 at New England Boat Works.

Below, ESMERALDE is stripped down on March 21, ready for the truck ride over the bridge and up to Portsmouth, RI where some bottom work will be done and final prep before launching.


 

Below, a reminder of last summer's wonderful summer cruise in Maine.  Dorsey & Alec row ashore in the early morning light at Round & McGlathery Islands in Merchants Row.

Buckle was one of Alec's favorite spots also.  Here he enjoys the evening view towards Deer Isle.
