We'll look for them when they get back in, probably this weekend sometime.

Yes, we stopped by yesterday and talked to the owners.  Such a nice couple.  They are spending a week up at Sucia!! Lucky!!!!! But then so are we, we get to sail almost every night.

Quote from: Hull_295;17847We liked Anacortes just to long a drive to get to sail. Now she is closer and we can sail her more and start all the TLC she needs and deservers. Have you checked out the Ariel that sold for like 12k 2 years ago on the end dock? The one with the nice teak cockpit may? That is our end goal.

Are you talking about the "Spirit Wind"??  Has a really nice teak cockpit floor grid-work??
 
If so, that is one pretty boat!!

Yeah I can understand the need to be close to the boat.  We can practically see the Gwa'Wis from where we live so totally understand.  
 
No did not see that boat, we just moved here a year ago, boy that must have been something!!
 
We plan to keep the Wis as stock as possible unless some compelling reason comes along to change her.  
 
Sounds like you have a really big project coming along.  Good luck and don't forget to post LOTS of pics!!

Ebb;
 
Best translation we could find was Sea Raven, or Raven of the Sea.
Her name comes from the original owner Bill Holm who also did the art on her stern. We are the 3rd owner, the second owner having purchased her so he could obtain the slip she was in in Edmonds.
 
We did alot of searching on the web and Ken actually found the translation. I'm not sure exactly which indian language from the Northwest Indian tribes (most all in Canada) her name comes from. I'll have to ask him where he found the translation again.

So good to see someone else from Anacortes, AND in our own marina!  Sorry to see Katydid leaving though.  We have always wanted to meet the owners.  She is after all one of very few Ariels in Cap Sante.  Sorry to see you leave but will look for you on the water.
 
We have hull #294  the GWA'WIS  just across the way in K36
