| We purchased "Mi Chula" (Spanish for "My Pretty One") on August 14, 1999, From Clipper Bay Yacht Brokers, in the yard at Herrington Harbor North, in Deale, Maryland. At the time she was on the hard and she remained that way until April 25, 2000, when, on a very wet and chilly day, she returned to the water. During her land bound hiatus, most of our time was spent fixing and upgrading her to the point where we felt she was sea worthy. Here are a few pictures from launch day. There was a substantial amount of tension prior to her hitting the water, this due in no small part to the amount of work that was done below her waterline. While still a work in progress, and she will be for some time, we consider her to be worthy of her name. |
