Hi Bruce ... Thought you would enjoy seeing this incredible picture of Ciganka as we were sailing into Little Harbour, Bahamas cut from the ocean the morning of March 1st. A friend of ours, Captain Bruce on s/v Beacon 1, was sailing out of the cut making his away to the island of Eleuthra with his crew. Someone on board took this picture with his Samsung phone and did not alter it at all. How stunning! Enjoy Linda & Thomas Ciganka SEE all about this Trader 65 that has been chartering for over 20 years TRADER 65 Cargo Ketch boat plans To contact Ciganka for charters go to: www.SailingAdventures.org

	TRADER 65 - "CIGANKA" AVAILABLE FOR CHARTER Hey Bruce, It's Thomas Owens and Linda Maruna that worked with you on the design for the "Trader 65". Remember us?? She sails like dream. She is the fastest boat in the Abacos, Bahamas where we run our charter business. She has hit 12 knots....sailing like a freight train! She is stoutly rigged and heavily ballasted. She lends herself so well as a live aboard in the charter business. We have enough of our own space in the aft cabin and our own head and shower that we don't mind having a heavy charter schedule. The galley is fantastic with plenty of space. We even put in a 6 burner stainless steel restaurant stove and oven. We LOVE the pilothouse! We have 20 windows that go up and down so we can get the fresh breeze and it gives us a panoramic view. We have a huge table that can seat 12 people. This is really where we "live" ourselves. We eat, read, do our computer work, and hang out all the time in the pilothouse. Thomas did such a beautiful job on the whole project, doing it all by himself! You wouldn't believe how smooth the hull came out and we have never put any filler on the hull. The best compliment was when we were in a boat yard and we were down below. We heard this light tapping on the hull. We came up to see what it was. Two guys looking across the boat yard had made a bet. One said our hull was a fiberglass hull and the other said it was steel! So they had to tap on it to see who won the bet. We are extremely proud of our accomplishments with this project. And are happy having our home and business aboard "Ciganka"! Thought you would enjoy an update! We are doing super and absolutely love our boat! You can go to our website and see what we are up to and some pictures of the building process. Thomas & Linda Bruce, We finally got your wonderful book. It was on a bit of a journey in several different hands to get to us in the Bahamas. When we finally thought we were going to get it, it came up lost from the bag of the person that brought it through the Marsh Harbour airport. I kept calling the airport for days and someone finally found it in Customs! We think it is a beautiful book with a lot of great information. We can only image how much work goes into putting all that information together. We were thrilled with how the pictures of "Ciganka" looks. All the best to you Bruce! Thomas & Linda Ciganka is safe and sound in the Abacos, Bahamas........May 6th We sailed out of Luperon, Dominican Republic Saturday May 1st at 7:30 AM. It was Thomas' birthday so he was happy to have Ciganka under full sail out in the ocean with steady 18-20 knots and gentle waves. Ciganka was sailing along at 8-9 knots and all was good. The whole trip was pleasant and "uneventful". We had good wind until we were off the north end of Eleuthera. So we cranked up the motor and motor-sailed the last 12 hours of our ocean journey. We entered the Abacos at Little Harbour cut at 4:00 PM on Tuesday. We then shut down the engine and had a wonderful sail heading north to Man-O-War Cay. Up early Wednesday morning we raised full sail with a nice wind to sail us to Green Turtle Cay (about 25 miles) to clear Bahamas customs and immigration. Clearing into the Bahamas went quick and easy so we had time to set sail and make it back to Man-O-War Cay for the evening. In total we sailed about 700 miles in 4 days and only used 15 gallons of fuel. We like that!! Ciganka is such a great sailing ship and we are both very proud of how well she performs. It is nice to be back in the Abacos. We have 2 weeks before our charter season starts. We were talking last night that we are looking forward to this season. It going to be a fun run! Hope all is good for you. Please keep in touch and we will do the same. Our Love, Thomas & Linda Owens
