The West Coast Years

 

In October of 1970, Curlew was sold to Louis G & Mildred Holcomb of Saratoga California. The couple apparently sailed Curlew down the east coast, transited the Panama Canal, and then sailed her up to the San Francisco Bay area. Curlew was subsequently put up for sale again and purchased by Carlos Romer, who moved her to Marina del Rey. While we don't know the official date of that sale, we do have a record from the 1975 Lloyds Registry of American Yachts that documnets the new owner as Carlos. The registry also reportts that by now she had a 1972 4 cylinder 85 bhp Perkins diesel.
