The new Zanshin, a Jeanneau 57 yacht, has finally been completed after a year of waiting. The olde Zanshin I (a Jeanneau 49DS) is in new hands and has been re-christened “Miriam's Star” by her new owners, so the name is now free and clear. I spent the latter part of November 2011 completing the commissioning process in Annapolis and accepting the yacht from the Bay Yacht Agency and sailed it down to St. Martin in the Caribbean with 2 friends on a quick passage of 8 days. The new Zanshin is indeed a yacht rather than a boat. With 8 feet more length than Zanshin I, this new vessel is quite a bit larger, both inside and outside. I've become quite attached to the name Zanshin, so I will also be giving the new yacht the same name and have worked on this site to rename the references to the first Zanshin to Zanshin I in order to avoid too much confusion in boat naming. Once I'm settled into the new Zanshin my plans include sailing around the Caribbean waters and, when the time is right, a slow set of passages circumnavigating the globe along the so-called “barefoot route” which entails staying in warm climes and avoiding the rough and potentially dangerous waters around the capes. Please enjoy browsing the site and, for those who find themselves sailing in unknown waters:
(May there always be a handsbreadth of water beneath your keel.) |
