In the fall of 1982 I took over as captain of hull #1 of the Cheoy Lee 63 motorsailler, Lush Life. We sailed all over this part of the world- Bahamas, Caribbean, Bermuda, New England, and so on. We sold her in 1984, but she soon fell into the hands of the US government. A feoolw from Charleston, I think, had her for a while, and sold her to an English Gent who motored her to England in December and January. I last saw the boat in Jose Banus, I think it was, in 1992.

She did motor better than she sailed, which is why we sold her. However, she ws very comfortable under just about any conditions, and very livable at dockside or at anchor.
