temporary new home / sv smoke - chuck paine bougainvillea 62' / grenada

After we hauled out Anasazi Girl, James launched Smoke, a Chuck Paine Bougainvillea 62', owned by a Kiwi friend from Auckland.

James managed a refit of Smoke in January 2016 and was also representing the boat for sale through Anasazi Ltda. The job on Smoke allowed us to pay off the remaining balance on our replacement mast - so we are eternally grateful for this work which officially gave us our sailing freedom.

The plan when we arrived in Grenada was to complete the owner's work list and potentially move her to a new location. The owner of Smoke allowed our family to move aboard, so for the next several months, we called this beautiful sailing vessel our home.

Our plan was for James to work on Smoke, to completely decomission Anasazi Girl for storage on the land, and we would all fly back to Chile in time for the start of the next school year, which began early March 2018.
