Hello,
My wife and I are the proud new owners of Sundog, our 1980 Morgan 382. We have been crewing for the past 3 years throughout Mexico’s Sea Of Cortez and mainland Pacific Coast. I’m a part time engineer and my wife Is a full time designer. luckily with Starlink, we have been able to work remote and continue our passion of living on the water. Now we can do it in the luxury of OUR OWN BOAT!
Originally Purchased April 1980 by the first owner, the boat named Shelby-D, she was a fresh water boat, sailed on Lake Champlain, by the first and the second owner, who purchased her in 1988.
In September 1992, the second owner moved aboard and took Shelby-D from Lake Champlain down the Intercostal Waterway to Florida. They upgraded for full-time cruising and spent December 1992 to March 1993 in the Bahamas. In the spring and summer of 1993 they traveled back up the Waterway through the canals to Ontario. In October 1993 they headed back down to Florida to cruise the Caribbean.
The second owner developed health issues and sold the boat in May 1994 to the third owners.
The third owners had the boat trucked from Florida to San Diego, renamed her Interlude, and sailed and lived aboard her at Shelter Island. The fourth owner then purchased her in December 1999 and moved her to Marina del Rey.
From early 2000 until October 2005 the fourth owners did an extensive upgrade while cruising Interlude in Southern California waters. Interlude left Marina del Rey for Mexico in October 2005, joining the Baja Ha Hacruisers rally in San Diego. The rally finished in Cabo San Lucas in November 2005 and Interlude has remained in Mexican waters since. The fourth owners took interlude as far south as Huatulcoon the Pacific mainland coast and as far north in the Gulf of California as Bahia San Franciscito.
My wife and I, now the fifth owners, purchased Interlude this winter and renamed her Sundog. We are as happy as a pair of clams. She needs some work and some TLC, but who doesn’t. We are excited to share our upgrades and improvements as we go along. I’m planning on a complete solar and battery refit, new refrigeration, teak and brite work, … Perkins, stack-pack with lazy jacks, buff and polish, etc. etc.
