Pathfinders north and south


Two consecutive emails brought news of John Welsford Pathfinders to the north and south of me.  Way south in Aruba good friend Rik treated himself and friends to a sail on VANESSA.  I really love the smile on his face, can't blame him one bit for that.  Seems as if there is always plenty of wind down there and I know Rik enjoys it.


To the north Bobby sent me photographs of of the newly lettered and first time (for Bobby) rigged LAGNIAPPE.  He hopes to have her out for a first sail in the next week or two and I'll be looking forward to photographs from that great day.


I am happy to sail that both Rik and Bobby have sailed on SPARTINA, maybe one day I'll sail on their Pathfinders.  Thanks for the emails and photos, guys, enjoyed hearing from you both.

Nice post Steve. Spot on Vanessa at the help for you is reserved. Take any of the 30 flights South from the USA to Aruba...
Love the looks of Lagniappe. Especially the height of the seat backrest, this way sitting on the sidedeck is more comfortable.

Thank you, Rik. I look forward to a visit to Aruba someday.
