Lexington - Captain Bob: always interesting sailors



We invited a couple over last night. We had a nice but simple meal and an excellent visit. They are on the boat named Atla, a Sundeer 64. Their names are Eva and Peter Askulv. Now wonder if a good ole redneck like me can pronounce their last name. They are from Switzerland. They had a business manufacturing and selling extreme mountaineering gear. They sold their company and all their land based holdings and are off sailing with no immediate plans to return to land.
They currently are arranging repairs. They have a crack in their mast. They will probably be delayed but catch up with us later. They are excellent sailors and were diligent enough to note the crack and prevent further damage by taking down the sails to reduce stress on the mast. They continued on by motoring. Any of you sailors out there might want to read about Sundeer 64, a boat designed by Steve Dashew.
Prince and Jim Dinger are in Panama seeing some sights before coming on the boat. We are looking forward to their entertaining personalities
We have internet so I will add a couple of photos.
The first is the boat with our Shadetree shade cloth.
