J/160 SALACIA Cruising Chronicles
SALACIA, the J/160 owned by the Australian couple, Stephen and Cyndy Everett, have embarked on their life long dream of sailing from San Diego (USA) to Brisbane (Australia). They started initially from San Diego and headed down to Puerto Vallarta by racing in the Puerto Vallarta Race earlier this year. SALACIA had "local" Jeff Brown on board from San Diego's JK3 Yachts to help guide them down to PV, competing with great aplomb and in the best of the corinthian spirit-- JB said the food and drink were "simply remarkable". Just yesterday, the Everett's caught their first wahoo fishing off the back of the boat! Check out SALACIA's sailing and cruising blog here.
