Hello everybody, My name is Todd Bradley and I live in the Sacramento CA area near Folsom Lake. I have been mostly just a observer of e-mails, questions and good banter for about six months now. I have really been inspired by all the helpful and friendly advice I see being exchanged and I am looking forward to being more involved. I am now a proud owner of a 1980 23' (hull # 86, currently known as Ce Cee). She is currently in Sausalito and I plan to keep her there for a while (no trailer). She needs lots of upgrades and TLC. I have been studying Sean's documented journey and I am both excited and nervous. The information archived by Sean and others will be a great help. If I can be half as diligent and dedicated to restoring my craft as Sean, then I will certainly be successful. The immediate needs for the boat are - new standing and running rigging, new outboard and new main sail, new battery (check wiring & lighting) Eventually - new galvanized trailer from Pacific (no trailer with boat), trunk & centerboard (repairs undetermined at this time), stains inside upper cabin ceiling - appears to be leaking at cabin top teak side-rails (remove & re-bed?), clean & oil interior teak & ash. Thank you to all the people that provide your support, knowledge, sharing, document preservation and advice. The journey will be better and more rewarding for it. Thank you, Todd Bradley
