    There are some updates on the LM blog site. They talk about their current and last charter in the Aeoli Islands before the Monaco Yacht Show(MYS- 19th-22nd).

    They have also added a 'cruising' segment to their photo section. Nice pics as usual...

    Lady Michelle Update

    The Trinity Lady Michelle has completed her first charter season successfully. This charter season was conductued in Europe directly after her delivery earlier this year.

    Lady Michelle visited many European ports of call during her first summer stay. Some of these calls included Portofino, St.Tropez, Monaco, Corsica, Sicily, Capri, Palma de Mallorca, Golfe De Leone and so on.

    The Lady Michelle essentially ended her last charter in the Med and then went to the prestiegous 2007 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS). With her first charter season done, she has departed from the Med/Europe area and is currently on her voyage for Fort Lauderdale.

    The most recent entry into the blog says that she was in Gibraltar taking bunker. She will move on to the near by (relatively) Cape Verde Islands off Africas' North West coast. From there she will cross the Atlantic Ocean and stop in St. Maarten for bunker then onwards to Fort Lauderdale. She will probably freshen up for the Winter charter season in the Caribbean.

    Alongside of being nominated for 'best semi-displacement yacht over 40M' for the 2008 World Superyacht awards, the Lady Michelle has been kept busy for their Caribbean charter stint.

    They have visited many of the popular Caribbean charter posts including St. Barths. Further on into January, maintenance work was due.

    On the 29th of January, Lady Michelle was hauled out of the water in Palm Beach, FL for maintenance. She made a stop at the Rybovich refit yard to get this work done.

    Early March they spent some time in the Ocean Reef in Key Largo, FL. It is also interesting that they got into the marina that has a 7 foot deep entrance channel and LM is deeper at 8 feet.

    Well we all know that the Lady Michelle is out and about in the Med. She is currently on her owner's cruise from May 5th to June 30th (today). She will resume charter service afterwards up to September where she will undergo two stints of maintainence in Malta and later in Capetown. Then another bout of owner's cruising from mid December-to mid-March 2009.

    Here's a fun snippet: Lady Michelle arrived in Cape Town, South Africa last week after a delivery down the West Coast of Africa. She then cruised east and entered the coastal port of Knysna (just east of Mossel Bay). Here are a couple of pics I pulled off Facebook of her entering the lagoon.

    I just realized that the "Lady Michelle" has been renamed "Glaze".

    Glad to see her refit went well. Apparently she was pretty heavily damaged by her engine room fire last year. I read some time ago that her current owner purchased the then damaged vessel in the neiborhood of US 12 million.

    I would think a caramel glaze would be a bit lighter, but not a bad guess. I'm guessing a nice chocolate glaze. The finish does shimmer a bit in the sunlight.

    Will be brown the new trend color? I see the same in the car industry. BMW and Audi delivered some cars in brown.

    I hope not Rene. It is not that bad but not good either. In my opinion that is.

    Tom, the colour is interesting, 1. breaks away from the norm, white on white or flag blue on white.
    2. the finish reflects well.
    However, it seems to make her superstructure look quite bland and useless. Maybe they could have done some chocolate brown accents to the superstructure or mast or something. Like I would have prefered to see brown paint rings around the com balls on the mast, and her name "Glaze" should have been in a different font and not looking so cryptic.
