Thanks to Arild & Jeff for their prompt response , you have both contributed and
helped us recall a lot of happy memories. The Kammlers were a tremendous help to us when we took over in Palma . . . taking us on a 6 day familiarisation cruise to make sure we were comfortable with Mauna Kea . . . Peter Kammler built another yacht,sailed her to New Zealand and retired to become a farmer . . . we loved the Balearics ,cruised Ibiza/French Riviera/Monaco etc before selling to return to Australia.Our next 38 was discovered in Brisbane Aust.however then came disaster. . . more to come!!!!!????Ron says :Our first Nic. 38 ‘mauna kea’ was purchased from a German couple in 1974 when June and I met them in Aust, they were half way thru a circumnav. We joined them in Palma Mallorca to complete the purchase and cruised the Balearics for 3 years . . . mauna kea was Polynesian for ‘enchanted bird’ and the name was carried over to our next 38,purchased in Queensland.It now gets more exciting !!!??? more next week
