These are the Stories and Travels of our Intrepid Little Cruiser!
Willow B is a USCG Documented 1979 Prairie 29 Coastal Cruiser.
She is powered by a single Perkins 4-108 (50 hp) diesel engine. This little power-plant pushes her along at trawler speeds (less than theoretical hull speed), while sipping only 5-6 quarts of fuel per hour.
She carries 100 gallons of fuel, which gives us a range of 500-600 miles, depending on generator usage. She also carries 100 gallons of fresh water.
This means we have no need to stop for fuel or water for up to 14 days.
Our Plans are to travel the Inland Waterways of the Eastern US, as well as the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts.
My Tyme was berthed in Boston, MA. We re-named My Tyme to Willow B. This name has meaning to both the Navigator and Captain on many different levels.
The late Captain Dave Willoughby was a mentor to the Captain in the early years. Many days and nights were spent fishing together as a team. Much was learned and appreciated.
