S/V Chiquita

     This is S/V Chiquita.  Usually a blog entry of this type would fall under the label "Boats of Interest".  However, this entry could also fall under another category - "Persons of Interest".  No, don't get the wrong idea, he is not wanted by the police.  The sailor that crews this boat, Ron,  is a very interesting person.  Among his many accomplishments, he built this boat in his back yard in Florida with help from friends, some as far away as Maine.  Two weeks prior to launching the boat, he retired from his job and has been conducting sea trials ever since.  I think the boat has passed the sea trials as this photo was taken at Black Point Settlement, Exumas, Bahamas.
