I cannot tell you what a great experience this has been in a journey of a lifetime. Most people have little understanding of boating, not to mention a complete renovation of a 51' DeFever 1986 boat, that many thought was already beautiful and perfect. We love our lifestyle after 10 years of living aboard, and embracing the adventure we made a committment to take on another 20 years, God willing. Baja Naval had already done one renovation of our current vessel and they would be the only ones we would trust. After two years of planning, we embarked on our adventure and cruised from SF bay to Ensenada. It has been a labor of love, such hard work, laughter, fights (yes its not all rosy folks, lol) and perserverence to make a dream come true. I am deeply touched by the people, to name a few, the owner, Diego, our project manager, Roberto, you are so patient, kind, smart and fun to work with, the beautiful and gracious, Carmina, and the one and only Victor, with his big smile, your help has been so appreciated, and the security guard that always smiles when I pull up and greet him with him my HOLA, como estas, and he places the cone for us. I am truly grateful for all of you, the CRAFTSMEN, and MASTER TRADESMEN that take such pride in what they do. Thank you, Caeser, Cano, Alfredo, Omar, and the best guidance from Manuel. I am truly humbled and as much as I want to finish and get back to our home in the Bay, I am going to miss seeing you all. I apologize for missing anyone because you are all so amazing. Thank you, KT and Doug Ribordy
