Home!

After 1,500+ miles - from Georgetown, SC to Buffalo, NY - the vessel and crew finally made their arrival in Amherst, NY on Wednesday, May 6. Much of the family was able to join the boat in Lockport, NY to finish the long voyage with Capt. Rich and his canal crew, Chris and Nicki. It was a wonderful reunion.

Currently, the rig is being prepped and painted thanks to our friends at Hadley Exhibits and our hope is for it to go up by mid-week. At that point, look up for Kate and Rich, as we will be spending many hours rigging, replacing hardware and rigging, bending on sail, checking fairleads, splicing splicing and more splicing.

BUOE and Buffalo Sailing Adventures continue to confirm bookings and make final preparations for our respective programming seasons. BUOE in particular continues to build on its long wishlist of materials and equipment; if you think you have some items of use, give us a call!
