Jerry King and Arlene Nicholson maintain this site so their families, friends, and anyone else can keep up with their adventures on Mirador, a 1995 Caliber 40 Sailboat. They sailed from Tacoma Washington to San Diego in the autumn of 2000. In the spring of 2001 they sold their Puget Sound home to cruise full time on Mirador in Western Mexico. They have now returned to Puget Sound where Mirador is kept at a dock on the Thea Foss waterway in downtown Tacoma.
I am going to start writing stories about Puget Sound sailing and telling stories about Mirador maintenance and all the strange and wonderful problems that keep the life of a boat owner interesting and entertaining.
