Join Bob and Kaye aboard their 36 foot sloop, "Bettie" as they cruise from
Los Angeles to the Bahamas via the Panama Canal on the first leg of their sailing
adventure.
The Boat
"Bettie" is based on a Cascade 36 hull. It was custom molded for Bob by
Yacht Constructors in Portland Oregon back in 1978.
Four
years and lots and lots of man hours later Bob splashed her. "Bettie" has a
raised freeboard that allows for a flush deck design.
The Video
This is a fast-paced documentary with gorgeous photography that will give
you a first hand look at the cruising lifestyle.
Over
10,000 miles have passed under Bettie’s keel since Bob and Kaye left Los
Angeles in 2004. They sailed down the west coast to Panama, through the
Canal, east to Cartagena, Columbia then north to Honduras and east across
the Caribbean to the Bahamas. That's the focus of this video.
Back South
Next,
they cruised north along the eastern U.S. seaboard to
Boston. The geese were flying south by October beckoning them
back to warmer climes, so they headed south to Guatemala and
Honduras .
Back South
Refit After refitting and some time back in L.A., Bob and Kaye returned to the Caribbean. After cruising the U.S. East Coast once more then returning to Central America for a couple of winters, Bob and Kaye put "Bettie" up for sale. They now reside in Portland, OR aboard a new vessel.
