Welcome III Sold

On October 16, 2010, I sailed from Parkers Boat Yard to Newport, Rhode Island with the new owner of Welcome to hand over the steering wheel. It was howling 30-40 from the northwest. We went aground, blew out the main on a double reef, and were soaked through to the bones. Otherwise, it was a nice sail. The pirate who bought the boat is planning a world voyage. Fair winds and following seas to the boat who helped to make a dream come true. Capt Turley
