Winter 2023 and Spring 2024 has come and gone. Summer 2024 has us living on the hard in Scottsdale, Arizona.
I had a few months in the Phoenix Valley, January, February and March, for music gigs and having decided to return to Arizona to live but wanting to keep the boat, I returned to the California Delta to move the Bayliner to dry storage at Napa Valley Marina. That I did on April 1st and drove the Cayenne and U Haul trailer back to Scottsdale with our stuff.
June 2024 is here and I had 4 gigs in 10 days: Peoria Library, Glendale Library, Flagstaff Folk Festival and the Beaded Lizard Gathering. Whew! Nothing more booked now........taking July off , looking to August for some rehearsal and maybe a few gigs in the fall ???
So, having decided to sell the Bayliner, we are going to California around July 4th to ready the boat and pick up the CA Lido. That has motivated the sale of the AZ Lido, don't need 2 and perhaps mitigate the cost of the trip.
New Moon follow up:
The New Moon was moored at Bethel Island awaiting decomisioning with her motor mainly of interest for fishing boat. Power went out once, bilges failed and she sunk.
After being floated, the pumps were not hooked up properly and she sunk again.
As far as I understand, she is in a boat yard in Bethel Island awaiting and/or is being dismantled. The mast has been given to the Sporstmans Yacht Club in Antioch, CA as a flag pole.
