I Hate to bore all you long suffering Albineers....
You may remember our Minnow from a series of entries that I posted last year about the work that we did on her, "Minnow... modifications and additions. (A long winded discussion)" Parts one and two), and then another series of posts where we documented our trip up the inside passage to Alaska "The Minnow's 65 day Alaska Cruise". Well we had a fabulous trip, she exceeded all expectations, and we left our girl in Alaska to over winter under shrink-wrap in Petersburg. In June we are planning on returning to bring her back down to Puget sound, and have decided to put her up for sale. As you can imagine we went through many guilty moments coming to this decision. She is nothing more than a construct of fiberglass and steel and wood and wire, but it still feels like a kind of like a betrayal after she worked her heart out to take us up there in such comfort and safety. We credit her with opening our eyes to all the places up North where we want to go and sadly places that she is not capable of taking us to. As stout and plucky as she is we know her limitations and crossing the gulf of Alaska and cruising down the Aleutian chain is not an option for her. So we hope to find new captain and crew that can continue her Nautical Saga that is no where near done.

For more information, I have posted a thread in the “Swap/Trade/Sell” section, under the heading “Albin 25 for sale - The Minnow is Returning From Alaska”
