I am working on a photo project, in the quiet of my hometown and the pleasure of broadband internet, that involves looking at photos from the last six years of my life, for the most part related to sailing.
Five years ago Kate and I purchased Tranquility, our Columbia 29 mki that was lying disassembled in a yard in Fairhaven, MA, the same place where in 1892 Joshua Slocum was given his famous fixer upper, the Spray.
People often ask me where they can find pictures of our boat online, and I realized that they are scattered throughout this blog, hard to find.
I thought I would post some here, in chronological order, for who is interested in the Columbia 29 mki model, and in the modifications we made so far (click on the pictures to enlarge).
