I moved Revival to a slip in KW for a month and will bring her to Dunedin then. Spoke with Frank about some particulars and learned he is setting off for a three month jaunt to Abacos and Exuma today. Nice work if you can get it. Pictures to follow.

Howard...'nice work if ya can get it'.....I've been in construction since 1973 (33yrs)...finally have enough wrinkles and grey hair to realize that....1-ya can't make money building homes in northern Ontario winters,   2-you are a long time dead !!  I highly advise ALL east coasters to travel to Bahamas...it's close,safe,friendly and FUN !!!

[frank durant]

Howard...nothing...NOTHING ..would make me happier than to see you posts pics of Revival in new anchorages while on new adventures.Keep her moving !!  Have FUN !!!!

[Howard]

You can count on it. (The pictures that is). As for the "nice work", your resume makes you uniquely qualified for the job. The wrinkles and the grey look so much more continental with a tan. Think George Hamilton.  :cool:
How about a new thread with some shots of this trip? Cheers again!!!

[frank durant]

'you can count on it' !!!..........Lets compare shots

It's 27 degrees outside here in Mass.  I'm too cold to be jealous of the fact you have sunsets over the bow!:p

Howard,
 
Hello from Atlanta.   As the former owner of a Nicholson 31, which another Pearson owner, James Baldwin restored, I am interested in downsizing to a simplier boat due to life changes.     Photos of James work can be found on his website atomvoyages.com    See the Nicholson 31 refit.    I just sold the boat to a fellow who shipped it to Canada.  
 
I had noticed from this forum that you might have sold a partial interest in your Ariel and wondered if you had any interest in selling the remaining interest?
 
thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,

I have actually sold her outright. I have retained privileges. Told Jason, the owner, about this site and will continue to post pics and updates. Revival is now in Palm Harbor.

Cheers,

HI

[sailbahama]

Thanks for the update.  If Jason decides to sell, please let me know.  Happy sailing.
