Hello Rick,
Very good to see and hear of Blew Heeler again. Looks like she has been very well taken care of and has traveled much more than I have! Looking at the pictures reminded me of how much I really enjoyed that boat and at times wished that I had not sold her. Having owned a CP16, CP 23 and currently own a CP19, I am getting the larger boat itis again and hope my next boat is a CP27, but not quite ready to make the move yet.
Good luck on selling her and hopefully, she will find a home with someone who will sail her often like it sounds like you did.
Take care!
Terry in NC
Terry, I still have the pawn ticket. Bring back my money and you can have her back. Same or better than she was!
Additional photos have been added to the album, with interior pictures finally.

Who knows, Bob. But I spend a lot of time in Clearwater and St Pete, so maybe we can hook up this winter.
