"Adventurer" is heading North.

[Randy & Ida]

Sadly we say goodbye to our R-25 "Adventurer". She has been sold to a gentleman from British Columbia. The documents were signed 5/9/13. Ida and I will miss her, but when life gives you lemons, you have to make lemonade.

We have enjoyed meeting many of the Tugnuts over the last couple years. We will miss cruising with Nita and Bob of "Nellie Too", Russ and Toni of "Traveler", Joe and Ruth of "R-Matey", and Herb and Willie and their dog Jake, and others. Special thanks to the Ranger factory folks, John, Dave, Andrew, Jeff, and Howard, and many more to numerous to list. You were always there to help and answer my many questions.

You gotta love "Tugs" and Ranger Tugs are great boats. Fair winds to all and hopefully we will see you on the docks somehere.

Hi to you both,

It must be challenging to have needed to say goodbye to your boat. I am at Cap Sante and would enjoy spending some time with you aboard. I am a solo boater and it is a major help to have another set of eyes as well as experienced Tugnuts who have a sense of our boats. Please feel free to pm me and I'm sure we can find times that would work to get together. I still have lots to learn and love hanging out on the boat. It would be great to learn where you took your boat and some of your favorite places.

You mentioned making lemonade and I greatly respect you for your positive attitude through this. I hope we can get out on the water on a good day with good weather. I look forward to connecting!

Randy and Ida,

We have enjoyed having you as customers. I want you to know that although you no longer have a Ranger Tug you will always be part of our family. We look forward to seeing you at Trawlerfest.

Jeff and crew

Be sure to tak Base Camp Anne up on her offer.

 

[Andrew Custis]

We will miss you Randy and Ida. As Jeff said, please don't stay away! When you join the family, you are stuck with us forever.

Keep in touch!

Randy and Ida, we hope our paths will continue to cross. Hoping you will drop by the Rendezvous at Cap Sante in September to say hello. As others have said, you are part of the Tugnut family. Our best to you both.

Thank you for the kind reply's. Ida and I will see you "on the docks" and do plan to visit during "Trawler Fest" and the Rondevous in Sept.. It's in our backyard, how could we miss it. BaseCampAnne, we would like to link up some time in the future. Our summer is rapidly filling up with family visits so it looks to be busy.

Nice thing about the view from our home, we can see the Tugnuts as they head west out Guemes Channel.

Randy and Ida,

Congratulations on the sale of your Ranger tug 😀

We enjoyed our cruising adventures that we shared with you and will look back fondly at those fun times. However, we understand how life goes on and the changes that come with it. We are excited that your boat sold so quickly once you moved it to Bellingham, that we thinking of talking to Bellingham Yacht Sales about selling our 2010 Ranger 25SC.

We just looked at your boat today when we were up in Bellingham. She's a beauty.

Hugs,
Ruth and Joe
