Allen B. MacDiarmid |
This is my retirement home, the Freedom 28 Broad Reacher. I have sailed her over 30,500 nautical miles over the bottom, 12,500 of those single handed and about 21,000 with the engine removed. I recently broke down and bought an outboard, I am getting too old for this purist stuff. We keep this at the Antioch Municipal Marina and use it about 3 months out of the year. |
This picture taken a few years ago is of my brother Hugh on the left, my mother Edie in the middle and myself on the right. |

This is the one we travel in, named The Little One. It is a 26' Wanderer Fifth Wheel with a single slide out. The truck is a Hino MDV, a bit of an overkill. |

This is winter headquarters, or whenever we are not sailing or travelling. The building is called a "casita" and is limited to 288 square feet. I share this site with Jean. The trailer is an Alpenlite 35 with dual slideouts. It has a nice view out the kitchen window, which is in the rear. Lots of birds in this area, as it is a major bird flyaway area. The San Pablo River is close by and actually has water in it even though it is only a couple of inches deep. |
