Here at "Earwigoagin Central" we receive the odd email every now and then. Murray Buttner updates us on the travels of the Ames 2 Classic varnished woodie International 14. (The previous history of the Ames 2 International 14 can be found
over at the CBIFA blog.
"I recently purchased her ... and she is now up in Dutch Harbor, Alaska. There is a huge, beautiful bay here. Steady breezes (except when it’s howling) and well protected from all directions except the North/Northeast. With her smaller 420 rig she is perfect for this San Francisco Bay of the North!"
Some beautiful photos of Murray sailing the Ames 2 during the Alaskan winter, snow-capped mountains in the background.

I find the idea of sailing in Alaska tantalizing and inviting - but it may be a bit too cold for me at my age in a centerboard dinghy - but something bigger? yep - looks like a great place for a summer cruise.
Sad to see her go, but believe she has gone to a good home.......would love to visit up there, looks spectacular.!
