Sailing

Petaluma My Girl

"My Girl" is our Newport Mark III 30-foot sailboat. On three separate occasions the summer 2013, artists chose to paint her. Here, we are on the Petaluma River in Sonoma Valley.

We belong to the Hawaii Yacht Club and..

...we have a slip (B-57) at Loews Coronado Bay Resort on Coronado Island.

It is a great place to get together with friends, so please let us know if you expect to be in the neighborhood.
