During
the first two weeks of cruising on board the Starr, owners
Sharry and Don Stabbert were familiarized with the boats systems and
operations by continuing crew members Rob and Donna. The Stabberts
cruised the Starr through familiar waters of B.C.’s Desolation
Sound, and then returned the boat to Seattle for some refitting and
new equipment at Delta Marine. |

The
Starr proved to be both sea worthy and comfortable, with good
stability, fuel economy and accommodations. The boat has cruised from
Seattle to the Mediterranean and back, by way of the Panama Canal,
most recently under the supervision of crew members Rob and Donna.
The Stabberts plan to cruise extensively along the west coast of Mexico
and then begin a voyage throughout the Pacific. |

An
open house was held on board the Starr at Seattle’s Bell
Street Marina, to welcome friends and family of owners Sharry and
Don Stabbert. Guests joined the Starr after the successful
refitting of new equipment to the vessel, and prior to the beginning
of its long range voyage throughout the Pacific.
The Starr
had just returned from the yard at Delta Marine in Seattle, where
it received a new satellite dome, twin rudders replaced the single
rudder, and a bimini top was fitted to the flybridge, along with
other updates and revisions. The Stabberts planned to begin a long
voyage to Mexico the following week.
