Thrilled about this! And Neil has promised I can spend my birthday on his new boat. March!!!!! And Random wind has a new boat ready soon. Now if only JabJabs would clean theirs up we're all set.

So happy for them and yes, it will be a very different experience. Looks as though my June trip (assuming Divi is ready) will be full of "water adventures." Happy early birthday, Elaine!

I wish they had not changed the name for the new boat. It would have been nice to call it the New Passaat. It had a lot of meaning for many who had the privelege of sailing on her and had established a great reputation.Perhaps the owners just wanted to forget those memories and begin again.😥

I thought they should call it the NEW PASSAAT. I understand not calling it PASSAAT. Neil kept the name CELINE in his Second boat which was a nice touch. Wondering what he might call his new boat.

I agree, Carol. As happy as I am that the owners of Passaat have a new boat, I'll miss the old schooners. Random Wind has also been replaced with a trimaran.

Yep, it won't be the same; but certainly more of a disaster for them than for us! I'll miss seeing her sailing by at sunset. We used to love watching that from Marty's pool bar.
