SERENA is an Admiral's launch
built by Kettenburg Marine during WW2 for the US Navy. She is currently
(June 2003) under the stewardship of Che Bellman who is slowly but surely
returning her to her former glory. A motor sailer, SERENA carried a crew of two and was designed to also carry a number of passengers aft of the cabin/galley. She has since been fitted with structure covering over what appears to have been open to the elements. Che is still discovering what was original and what has been added since. |
We trucked MACKINAC TIME from Los
Angeles to the Concordia Yacht Yard in South Dartmouth, MA. She spent the
winter indoors and is due to launch in the Atlantic in a few weeks.

Berthed in San Pedro MIST'S short outing on May 8. 2003 revealed porpoises, pelicans, terns, seals, and more thriving in the LA Harbor. Evidence abounds that the Clean Water Act is working to recover this body of water. |
