We entered the C&C Regatta for two of those summers, and took away the Cruising Division trophy for both years. |

This is the Lomar II. It wass a steel cruiser, 40' long and a shameful waste of money. I had to give her up in July of '99. I had dreamed of cruising in her, but realistically, I didn't have the time a boat like this needs for maintenance and TLC. Every year I seemed to get busier, in an expanding sphere of interests and activities. I agonized over the decision for weeks, but finally, the boat had to go. In any case, while I owned her, I learned that I preferred sail over power. Sailing is slower but more peaceful, and time has a different quality when you're on the water in a sailboat. |
Deborah's tastes were
for classier boats. Here she is at the helm of
Gordie Hunter's boat. A few years later we bought
our own Mirage 27.
