http://svnatalieb.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 22, 2015. Refit considerations and priorities. Last night we did a little informal research (Youtube videos) into composting toilets which got me thinking about what our priorities will/should be when we start the refit of s/v Natalie B. The admiral is very particular about certain comforts so there are a few things not commonly found on an Alberg 30 that I need to consider. In no particular order). Shower with hot water. Storage for blankets/cozy clothing. Dodger and Bimini - our boat incl...

Monday, January 19, 2015. I spent most of Saturday and all of Sunday driving to Tehachapi, CA and back to get a trailer for Natalie B. The trailer will need a little work before it is ready to carry the 9000 lb Alberg 30 2500 miles, but we are now one step closer to bringing her home. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

s/v Natalie B: The Trailer for Natalie B
http://svnatalieb.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-trailer-for-natalie-b.html
Thursday, August 20, 2015. The Trailer for Natalie B. So I had the axles replaced, I added fenders and I reinforced an area between the axles and the receiver where there was a butt joint weld in the 5" C channel frame. I replaced the tires, added two spares, replaced the 2x12 that the keel rests on and gave it a paint job. I was happy with the results. The final addition was a weight distribution system with dual cam sway bar control. Apparently, the thing to do, is self medicate and go bowling. As you ...

s/v Natalie B: January 2015
http://svnatalieb.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 24, 2015. How far can curiosity take you? Today I was listening to an old podcast of the TED Radio Hour from September 2014, titled James Cameron: How Far Can Curiosity Take You? Much of what James Cameron had to say reflects my drive to explore places I've never been, especially places only (or most easily) accessible by water. Which is what has inspired me to restore and dream of eventually cruising our own sailboat. Monday, January 19, 2015. Sunday, January 11, 2015. Refit considerat...

s/v Natalie B: Natalie B National (road) Tour
http://svnatalieb.blogspot.com/2015/05/natalie-b-national-road-tour.html
Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Natalie B National (road) Tour. We traveled through 21 states, 17 of which I had never visited before. We dodged tornadoes and flooding in Texas. We got to spend a little time relaxing in Destin FL where we attended the wedding of a close family friend on the beach. We surely overstayed our welcome in Oxford PA trying to get the boat on the trailer (thanks Howard and Ann and Bob's Crane Company). A video is forthcoming. Finally arriving home, four days late, but safe and sound.
