WORKNOT
Boat Type: Nordhavn 50
Skipper: Gale Plummer
Club: PLYC
Home Port: Las Vegas, NV
Built: 2001
Captain/Owner Bio
Retired from the Diesel engine & heavy equipment industry in 2013. Mary (retired nurse) and I have lived on boats since 2002 and cruised the west coast of California extensively.
Favorite Cruising Destination
La Cruz Mexico is a favorite but we are just back from Glacier Bay Alaska and it’s a tough choice. The people of Mexico and the relaxed lifestyle give Mexico the edge. We enjoy the food and culture of Mexico along with the warm weather.
Favorite Boating Experience
Cruising the Gold Coast of Mexico. Every anchorage just gets better as you go south. Barra de Navidad is outstanding and the French baker tops its off!
About the Crew
Mary, Keela our 4# dog, will be joined by Neil and Diane who we met on the 2013 FUBAR. They are fellow Nordhavn owners (Salacia).
What’s in a Name
My career involved lots of travel so the goal was always to “work not” when on board. Now keeping up a cruising power boat it’s a different kinds of work but I enjoy it a lot more!
Reason to Buy This Boat
We evolved our boating from go fast deep vee boats to ocean capable boats over a number of years. We choose Nordhavn for range, reputation and layout. With over 2000 mile fuel range it’s great to only buy fuel when it’s our choice of when and where.
Previous Boats Owned
36 Searay, 42 Grandbanks, 46 Grandbanks.
Interest in CUBAR
Meeting like minded people and learning from experienced cruisers as much as I can.
Boating Story
My wife lost her engagement ring in the head, let’s just say it was retrieved.
