Full Circle...

Post by richandlori »

I think it was in 2005 we bought our 26M, then sold her to buy our Pearson 365 Ketch to sail to Mexico with the family and we now live aboard full time on our Hudson Force 50 Today my son and I went out to look at a Mac26x for our return to the Mac family. After spending 4 summers in the Sea of Cortez, we know how the value a fast motoring sailboat can be when there is literally no wind for days and days.

So what better than to live aboard a Mac26X in the Sea of Cortez and spear fish every day? I know some would argue doing it on a :macm: but na...after owning an M, I have to say I like the X better, plus we can pick one up for a lot less money. The X we looked at was asking $4500 in a fire sale!

Plus my son already has plans to live aboard the Mac26x here in Morro Bay and if that's what it takes to get him off the boat after high school..ha ha ha ....baby I'm in! Forget this 30yr old crap of still living at home with mamma! mamma will be in Mexico!

I'll keep ya'll posted!

Hey Rich,

Good to see you post here.

We were in Roatan Hoduras a few months ago and met some live aboard cruisers. They were using your RO water system and love it. Gave us some water to drink from it. Excellent.

So now you have to post some Mac photos.

Good morning rich. I bought Dave Clark's X a few months ago and have my 95. That gives me a extra boat. Drop me an email so we can catch up.

Just curious, are you going to tell the CF people that? :evil: ( always look forward to your posts there by the way having known you from here before that). If you figure out a good place to put one of your watermakers in an X please share. Unfortunately the forward dinette seat is already taken, so any place but there! Welcome back!

Szanin35,

I did not notice. Welcome to the forum. There is a wealth of Mac knowledge here, and this is the friendliest forum on the WWW.
