Subject:  Crew's Letter  **  The Realization of Perception

 

 

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The composition of this Crew's Letter is on board and in the shadow of a Roman Coliseum. We are in Pula, Croatia.  The boat has a name and most of her is working.  What was planned as a three day effort to fit out and commission her at the Koper Marina required three working days spread out over four weeks.  And a few details slipped through the cracks.

 

She is named Perception.   And the reality is she is a very fine boat.

 

Phyllis' surgery came out better than expected.  Jerry and Mary Jane came with her toward the end of July to help with the sea trials.  We only sailed twice in ten days.
