About Ms Bettencourt

Ms Bettencourt is a Swedish built 25-foot trailerable trawler. Her hull was completed in 1971, No. 1117 of about 2500 built. The boat is named for my wife Dia, whose maiden name is Bettencourt.

This little vessel came to me as a gift in 2004. Before then she had been abandoned about 12 years on the Savannah River near Augusta, GA. I have repaired and refitted the boat extensively, and I have cruised her along the East coast of the US, from Cape Lookout, NC, to the Florida Keys. I dream of taking her to Havana some day.

This blog started in 2011 to chronicle the building of a hard top for the boat to replace leaky canvas. Since then the blog has become an Albin-25 boatkeeping and cruising journal.

Could there be such a thing...

...as too much boat stuff?

Today, I planted the vegetable garden, cleaned out the fish pond, introduced four big new Comets to the water feature, listened to Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash and ran my Lab Gladstone a mile or so with the bicycle.

Ms. Bettencourt is sitting at her dock with a nice coat of pollen all over.

Life is good.

Maybe some boat stuff next week.
