Mary Sunshine

s/v Mary Sunshine
1983 Hinckley Sou'wester 59

Roque Island off the Mine Coast. Coming in to anchor after a long day of sailing.

A fine sailing day in Maine

Sailing across the Gulf of Maine to Canada

A nice 15.5 ft. beam, broad stern and a dry center cockpit. Mary Sunshine was my mother's nickname when she was a young girl.

New lee cloths and fitted sheets for each berth. A little complex to inventory them but a nice feel at sea.

A nice large teak saloon table that seats seven nicely. 15.5 ft. beam and very open saloon. Partytime.

Sunset at Newport Harbor.
