Onward
After five glorious years of adventures
on Onward in the Pacific Northwest,
we have sold her to a couple from Everett, WA,
who have changed her name to Cowabunga.
May she and they have as much fun as we have had!
Our 40' Nordhavn trawler-yacht
|
Resting
at a dock in Crescent City, CA on her maiden voyage up the Pacific Coast. |
Under
the red canvas is the inflatable dinghy, named Homeward.
Made fast above the pilot house are two kayaks, named Inward & Outward.
(A friend told us we should name the life raft "Afterward"!)
Also aboard are two folding bikes and a scooter. |
But to start at the beginning: |
   |
Fiberglass mold for the Nordhavn 40's at the Fullerton, CA boat-building plant |
  |
Ray Danet was our Nordhavn staffer, peerless guide & extremely knowledgeable "old salt".
He & Tom stand by the unfinished Onward, indicating where straps should be placed when hoisting out of the water. |
Naming was important. Mike Howell painted names for us: Onward, Homeward, Inward, Outward. |
Some interior views

Read Tom's description of our Onward when we bought
her, and in preparation for selling her.
