Going back a bit. I was cruising in the Solomon Islands in 1977/1978 on Nicholson 32 "Rozinante" and found Margaret Rintoul in Honiara. Can anyone else give more details?
ReplyDeleteHi Pat, Gouldie bought MR from the Tardiff family in 1983. Bob and his family had just returned from an extended cruise of the Pacific Islands. It's probable that you caught sight of her during this cruise, 1977 to 1982 or there abouts. I have some photos that Bob and his wife have kindly shared with us that I intend to post of her cruising among the Islands as soon as time permits. Trust that all is well with you and Penny, please pass on my regards. PS It's another long tale to explore my acquiring a partnership in Margaret in 1994. I may post an account in the near term future. All the best PK
