Hi all, after the damage to Windigo I have now purchased a new vessel which will be Named SeaTreat. A new FB page is set up and I hope you come aboard and enjoy when she gets here this summer. https://www.facebook.com/Vessel.SeaTreat/
Plan is to keep this Windigo site up as an arcive for photo's and good times. Already miss her and will send out updates as I learn more about her future.
SeaTreat Welcome to SeaTreat, a 2014 Hanse505. After Windigo was damaged, I have purchased SeaTreat which is currently located in Antigua. She will be arriving in Newport in early June. Looking forward to many new memories with friends and family!

Most of the crew of Windigo know of her accident last year. She was dropped by the boat yard and deemed a total loss. Working with the insurance company to find the right buyer to restore her, but unfortunately I had to move on to another boat as the project was beyond my capabilities at this time.
Windigo provided many great memories for so many friends over the 26 years we were together. Fantastic vessel, will remember the good times aboard. Will be keeping this page up with photo's from over the years reminding of the great times with her.
Will be sending information on the new boat, along with a new FB page for the future memories aboard her. In the meantime, below are some photo's of the accident.
