Good friends depart on reallllly long sail

Dave and Kelly got underway – let’s see, – on their 50th proposed departure date. Headed for warmer waters, they figure they’ll be sailing for a couple of years.

A COUPLE OF YEARS????!!!!!

Dave and Kelly set sail to the south

So Sail Channel Islands Ventura Dockmaster, 1st Mate and most of the team have gone. We’re accepting applications aboard Wiley. There’s a beer in it for you if you catch us, particularly when backing into the slip in crosswind.

Life on B dock – all of Ventura – won’t be the same without Dave and Kelly.

Twas six years ago when I brought Wiley into her slip. A dark, dark night in July. Our last night of 7 aboard as we cruised from San Francisco to our new home.

There was a party on Dave’s boat.

It went on and on … until yesterday.

Godspeed, shipmates
