Dear Gayle,
Please find enclosed picture pertaining to
"Reliant" which we built and named the "Rose Evelyn", after
my wife. We completed the "Rose" in early '91. She was appraised
at that time for 1/2 million. We took a cruise from Mobile, Alabama to Key
West, FL and on to Pensacola, FL. In June 1991, we departed for a cruise to the
Pacific by way of Panama Canal, Galapagos, Easter Island, the Gambiers, Tahiti,
Bora Bora, Rarotonga, Tonga, Fiji, arriving in Aukland, New Zealand July 1,
1992. We crossed the Pacific with no major incident. We shipped her back to
Oakland, CA by container ship. She is now in the Cal State Marina at Monterey
Bay, CA and is being used by the university in boating education programs.
Thanks for the inquiry.
