Rovers: Michael, Claire, and Pina s/v Splendid Isolation


Now this is a crew of vagabonds that we hold dear to our hearts. Michael and I met a few years back working together at The Ramos House Café. Claire and Pina are his two top ladies. (Claire is a human and Pina a feline)
 
Michael bought Splendid Isolation, a 1968 Cal 27’, in the winter of 2011 and parked her in Dana Point Harbor. I was quickly convinced it was a lifestyle that suited me as well and I purchased Vitamin Sea, a Newport 27’, by that fall. Michael and Claire began to plant seeds of cutting the lines and living off the grid. So began the cruising dreams…

This is about when Marc and I met as we ended up living on the same dock and became fast friends due to our multitude of common interests. If you don’t already know what happened next, and would like to, start at the beginning of this blog.

Fast forward and Splendid is now officially underway. They just started down the Baja with plans of reaching the Carribean! But as every cruiser knows, plans, much like worries, some how seem to drift away on the open sea! So who knows where they’ll end up, but if you happen to be cruising the Pacific waters this season keep an eye out for a couple in their twenties making moves in a blue hull with a yellow topside. Have’em over for a drink and maybe you’ll get lucky enough to sample some of their top shelf cooking!
