I recommend Bluenose in RI. They added items per my spec and followed up well.

I used Bay Yacht Sales to purchase my Jeanneau 57 and was very happy with their service.

I bought from Bluenose in RI as well. Great experience. I'll work with Glenn and his team again someday.

I'm back aboard right now and am still happy with the boat. I will start updating the modifications section of my website with text and pictures in the next couple of days, that should give you some information to chew on.

I have been reading and enjoying your blog on your website. You do a great job keeping up with it. I hope your back feels better soon!

Thanks Perkins - you are probably one of a handful who look at the pages and the blog. I'm editing some pictures from yesterday - which was a fun day and evening at Cane Garden Bay. I'll post the results soon, I think some of the pictures turned out well.

I'll post the results soon, I think some of the pictures turned out well. Whenever it is cold and wet (IE most days in the UK at the moment) I take a voyeuristic tour around the decks and exotic location of Zanshin. Keep up the good work and hope your back soon improves - my guess is that you spent too long at your desk, then overdid it without any warm up when you got back aboard

Malcolm - thanks for looking at the pages at well. Part of it was the long months at a desk with no workout in the dojo; but in this case I tripped and fell down the companionway and landed on my coccyx, which is now heavily bruised and perhaps broken But nothing time won't fix and I hope to get back into shape in the next months aboard the boat!

I wish you a speedy recovery Zanshin! I am originally from the UK, Shropshire. Moved to Atlanta in '88. Off to St. Lucia for 10 days on March 1st. Plan on Chartering for 4 or 5 day while I am there. Love the BVI's too. Maybe we will cross paths sometime.
