Mexico is just a fond memory now. I left the Knot Wafflen' in the capable hands of Larry Graf and his crew in San Carlos. They moved the boat a few miles down the coast to Guaymas where she was hauled.
They had the job of removing the fly bridge, putting it and the boat on a truck, getting it through Customs into the US, on to Galveston, put back together, back in the water and on to New Orleans.
Not a small feat.
On the journey from Galveston to New Orleans, Larry Graff had the company of Captain Bill Pike, Senior Editor of Power & Motoryacht Magazine. We are looking forward to an article soon.
Captain Bill spent time on the Mississippi and Gulf running oil field boats and as he wrote in a note to us describing the journey: "Nostalgic for me. So may places, so many memories."
The crew of Knot Wafflen' thanks you for your assistance and we hope to meet & perhaps sail with you soon.
In the end, the boat was waiting for me in Orleans Marina, where I flew in to spend a few days with family on the boat (thanks SE & DJ).
A little about NOLA on the next entry.
A few pics supplied by Aspen.
Till next time.......
