It's a fine boat and handles the seas beautifully.<br />One thing we wish we had added before we left is solar panels and 12v refrigeration. We have to run the genset twice a day to cool the plates in the old Grunert system. The noise and heat get very annoying.<br />Let's keep in touch,<br />LauraBack Amongst The Oakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660400268217177909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624824640327032873.post-57457204286737193372015-12-28T21:18:20.540-05:002015-12-28T21:18:20.540-05:00I found you blog about a month ago and I am enjoyi...I found you blog about a month ago and I am enjoying your project list as well as your tales of travel. Our sailboat "Lemanee" is also an Alden44 hull #21. We purchased her in June this year and are doing all the projects and kitting her out to sail from BC to Mexico this fall and from there, where ever the winds will take us. Keep blogging and maybe we will run into you in the near future. Kandy and DennisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00674429463693197819noreply@blogger.com
