Alberta Crewed’s Crew comes to NYC

June 3, 2012 by

We were visited by the crew of the first Argentine-built Antares 44.  Craig and Laurie were great guests. They were delayed by and therefore missed the spectacular thunder and lightning show that came from the sound and merged with an equally menacing storm coming up from the harbor.   They made the most of the reduced time and we were really happy to host them. We held a dinner party, went to a ball game and went bike riding.  The two upbeat Canadians found the good in everything in Manhattan, a skill which NY’ers could stand to learn.  Here is Laurie’s post on the visit.   Craig and Laurie are a great inspiration for me.   They have gone from being land-locked and knowing nothing about sailing  to successfully managing a 5,000 mile offshore ocean passage. We, too, have a chance.

One of the great things about the Antares is not the boat, but the people who buy the boat.  We have had three different owners come by the house.

Hull #31  Laurie and Craig of Alberta Crewed

Hull #37  Mark  of Field Trip

Hull #42  Eric does not have a boat name or website yet

We hope to host a few more owners before our boat splashes!
