Revival is back from 'winter cruise 06'.After many many hours of work,with some intended projects not completed,Revival was finally launched after a over 2yrs on the hard on Feb.5th.Since then we have travelled from Indiantown on the St.Lucie canal in Florida to Stuart-West Palm(Riviera Beach)-Ft.Lauderdale-S end of Key Biscayne-Failed attempt to Bimini Bahamas with strong E wind on the nose,then an AMAZING sail all the way back to West Palm!-Ft Lauderdale-Port Lucaya Bahamas (MADE IT)-West end-Great Sale Cay-AllansPensacola Cay-Spanish Cay-Manjack Cay-Green Turtle Cay-Manjack Cay-
AllansPensacola-Great saleCay-West End-Stuart Fl.-Indian town.A great tour.I will post more pics and info.I would have liked to have put on my new chain plates and standing rigging ,but in the end ,time and the strong desire to get back on the water won out. These are fine lil ocean boats! The day of my failed attempt was 25-30kn winds with much stonger gusts and 10-12ft seas with the odd set much higher.Sounds like a normal summer day for you SF Bay guys.Revival seemed 'in her element'..double reefed main,she just romped along.Thanks Carl.Her shallow draft made her a fine Bahamas boat and she drew compliments everywhere she went. Pic-FINALLY in the water !!
