The Continuing Voyages of "Shibui" November 1992 - June 1997 Norseman 447 Brian & Mary Alice O'Neill

Cruise to Shibui Circumnavigation	Handling Finances and Mail while Cruising	Choosing a Cruising Sailboat

Tuesday July 29th--1400 hours. Why do the O'Neills looks so happy and relaxed? Well, they are preparing to sail again, this time from Dana Point to Seattle, where it looks like they will be for a while. Mary Alice took a job teaching, and what is Brian going to do? According to Mary Alice, he is still going to "organize the activities".

Wednesday, July 30th - They left Dana Point today and plan on taking about 15 days to get to Seattle, doing the 1000 mile tack somewhere in mid-Pacific to reach back in to Washington. They have promised more articles for Sailors Choice over the next few months. Brian's next planned story will be on how to handle finances while cruising. We think we will be seeing Brian again fairly soon, if the Coconut Telegraph is correct. We've heard that he may be soon delivering a Dana 24' from Panama to Dana Point. Good luck and Bon Voyage!

April '98 - We saw Brian in Ensenada after the race and they are settled for the time being in Gig Harbor aboard Shibui.  Some things just don't change.  And they want to go cruising again, in a year or so, plans are afoot!

February 2001 - My time does fly.  Still landed in Washington but the dream to go again is still alive and well
