Moondance

Moondance was offloaded in 1977 at Honolulu and spent her early years in and around the Hawaiian Islands. She was then sold and sailed to Seattle, where she enjoyed the Puget Sound and Vancouver Islands. After a few years her owner started thinking of palm trees and warm water, so off she went, South to Mexico then right turn to the Islands. Things didn't go well for her owner and after several years at anchor off Lahaina she returned home to Seattle, where she was loved by new owners for 5 years. When they decided airplanes were more fun, we bough her and took her to Long Beach, CA. where we lived on her and cruised to Mexico and the local islands. Then, after six months, we decided to move back to the Northwest and Moondance had to put her running shoes back on for another 1500 mile trip.

Now she's in Portland, waiting out a couple of winters until her owners meet friends in Costa Rica in 2008, then a return to the NW via the Pacific Islands. This should round out close to 100,00 miles on her bottom. I think she's looking forward to it!
