James,

We wish you the best, man! Pleasure to get to know you and Malolo/Pyxis. Enjoy Mexico and beyond...

I met James just as I was finishing up 08 projects on Murre and just as James was beginning his. As I left the San Rafael yacht harbor, Matt, the Harbor Master, put then Malolo into the same covered slip where Murre had spent the winter getting a new aft cabin bulkhead. It's now dubbed the �M31� slip. Over the course of several months, James redid ... EVERYTHING. He rebuilt the rudder, cabin sides, and cockpit and reglassed the coach roof. He installed external chainplates and re rigged the boat with aluminum masts. He rewired much of the boat. And more besides ... much more, and all in the course of a year. After she got her new hull and deck paint, he renamed his transformed boat to Pyxis, and he took off, which was always his plan.

Bruce sailed M31 Gitana Vela, also largely rebuilt over the last year and looking proud with her new, varnished mast, deck paint and bright work, down to Half Moon Bay to see him off properly. Sadly, I had to drive to Half Moon Bay, but at least I got to be there.
