Irma hurricane update.
My Marina had 85 % damage due to the storm. 2 of the 3 piers were destroyed as well as half of the one my boat was on.
Many boats were lost.
Andiamo suffered flooding in both hulls and I thank the efforts of those who worked and are still working to save her. The port hull leak was patched with about 2-3 feet of water and was able to be pumped out.  With the deck level again the stbd hull started taking on water from a gash at the waterline and perhaps others. Even with generators and extra pumps the stbd rested on its keel with just the deck above water.  An additional gas powered high volume pump was rented and was able to pump her out and temporary patches are being put into place to minimize more leakage.
The future of the Andiamo is in peril!

BLOG IN DRYDOCK - UNDERGOING INITIAL PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION

I am at the start of creating a sailing blog for SV Andiamo.
This is where you would be able to follow the adventures and location of the Andiamo and it's crew.
Late this year or early next after the haulout and overhaul our plans are as follows:
2-3 month shakedown in the Bahamas to the Virgin Islands and perhaps as far south as Venezuela.
A jump across the pond to Las Palmas
Up the West coast of Europe to Norway
Across thru Scotland, UK and Ireland
Back across the pond to St Johns
Up and through the North West Passage to Dutch Harbour, AK
Andiamo will then head to the South Pacific (Route TBD)
My passages are planned and these maps are produced using Visual Passage Planner  2 (I highly recommend to my fellow Skippers)

I am still in need of a crew

and a few sponsors would be great.

Andiamo is a very confortable 2002 35' Wildcat 350 Mk 3 Catamaran Sloop
