S/V "Ring of Kerry"
Wayne, you in particular may like this: Video made by two friends of mine from the guitar shop days. Cecilia and George used to perform on the shop's stage regularly as singer/songwriters. Two years ago they bought a 41' Hans Christian sailboat that was in rough shape and have completely rebuilt her. George is a carpenter known for doing extremely fine finish work. Cecilia was originally from Norway but her family immigrated to the USA when she was young. Anyway, they have been working on "Ring of Kerry" for the past two years and are about to sail off to distant lands this summer. They recently got married as well. Cecilia is the one singing in the video. I just wish it was a little larger but it is a nice record of their work and preparations. https://tinyurl.com/y95scf3f |

Thanks for posting that Richard. Its refreshing... They are an awesome couple. She has a very interesting background having founded a unique on-line travel service that became very successful. She sold it a few years ago. I remember talking to George shortly after they bought "Ring of Kerry" and George was just estimating the work involved to bring her back to good shape. Well, one thing led to another and they've basically rebuilt the whole boat including new tanks, new engine, new teak, all new hull penetrations plus new canvas (that they made) all new electronics and a refurbished cabin. I could never tackle a job like that. I should probably add that the song she is singing is an original composition and performed by her and George. |

Both the restoration and the video presentation. Yup! Just for kicks I found a video of one of their performances at the guitar shop. The shop wasn't completely outfitted yet but we hosted a fund raiser for a nearby town that was raising money for some cause that I can't remember. About 30 local singer/songwriters and bands performed throughout a full Saturday to help raise money. Anyway, here's the video. Another original by her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts7f4wTe6oM |
