Into the Sunset

Time to say goodbye. Jeff and Mindy just sailed on by, taking the good ship Nereus to Holiday Harbor in San Pedro. With a deep sigh, it’s time to wave goodbye. While this is the end of my 20+ years aboard Nereus, it’s not the end of my adventures. It’s still in its infancy, but […]

SOLD!

I’m proud to announce Nereus has a new owner and I’m very pleased! I’m honored to introduce Jeff Freeman as the new Captain of Nereus. He’ll be taking Nereus back to the Port of LA this weekend. It has been a long dream of his to own a Westsail and he’ll be back in good […]

Construction

After Nereus had spent so much time in not-so-dry storage in Alabama, dry rot had set and the forward bulkhead completely delaminated. It’s a project I’ve been putting off, but the time has come to fix it. I removed the old bulkhead (not too hard as it came out in pieces) and am working up […]

Back in the Port

A lot has been happened aboard Nereus. First, we’ve moved back to Yacht Haven, and as such are back in the Port of Los Angeles. Things at our marina in Marina Del Rey began deteriorating quickly and my daughter wasn’t coming to the boat much any more, so I decided to go back where the bathrooms are […]

It’s Only Money
