I’ve spent the past couple of days back down here in Mazatlan finalizing things with the boat. The engine is done. It runs great, sounds great, and looks great. There really isn’t a lot more to say about my time down here. I’ve just been getting everything cleaned up and ready to leave, setting things up with the broker, and moving to a different marina next door. Pretty uneventful.
Without further ado, here is the Bumfuzzle For Sale page. Yachtworld listing should be up in a day or two.

We’re at Stone Island, but will buy you a Pizza and tell you that you are doing the right thing with the Travco. Karin and Joe 520-425

Hi guys, I would have liked that, unfortunately I left the next day! Maybe when we pass through next time?
She really looks pretty, Pan. Fabulous pictures!
Um… Make that “Pat”
The boat looks excellent and I also think it is a steal for a family that wants to go cruising right away!
Incredible pictures and For Sale Page. Hope you negotiated a discount with your broker-your work sells itself! Love your site and God bless you and your family!
I was thinking the same!
Shame you couldn’t keep both the boat and the bus. You finally get the boat sorted and its gone……..the pix look great, someone will get a great deal. Curious to see where your first trip will be to, once you get the bus together. Have fun …….aloha Ron
Better yet, the Bums should hunt down and re-purchase their old VW bus and the Great Race Porsche. Then they could have a whole fleet of vehicles. Lowe could drive the Porsche, Ouest the VW, Ali the Travco, and Pat in the boat. They would never have to see each other and could pay for maintenance on all four!
It would be like the American dream of a 5-bedroom house and two storage units. Except “minimalist” and “carefree.” Sorry, Ron, I had to. 😀
Funny on so many levels!Thanks for the hearty laugh!
They still have the Porsche. I don’t think Pat would ever sell that thing. I know I wouldn’t.
boat looks great I’d add a few more pics especially one looking aft with the aft cabin door open so one can see the access to the cabin, helps explain the layout. Maybe a few of the side decks and bow deck area. The boat looks clean and ready to go..
She’s a beaut! Good luck with the sale.
There is someone out there who has the crazy dream to go sail the world. Oh, wait! That would be us. But alas, we already have a boat. Perhaps next time around.

Pat, we talked years ago and still following you guys; when you sale the boat make sure you tell the buyer that they have to change the name! I sold my last boat McKenzie Elin II, I now sail McKenzie Elin III and McKenzie Elin II is still out there making for a bit of confusion!! Jaime
Isn’t that bad luck to change the name? I wonder if the cat’s name got changed?
You have to go through a whole ritual and appease Neptune, the God of the Sea when you change a boat name – tried it once without the ritual, and the boat never liked me, but did it on the next boat and we are golden.
Front deck looks so different without the little red car. 🙁
Wow – great photos! You guys did a fantastic job with that boat – she’s a beauty.
I know that you are starting a new chapter and life goes on, but it is still sad to see the boat go. She is gorgeous.
Beautiful boat and ad – a great price.
I am going to miss the ol girl
Best of luck with the sale
It is a nice boat, thats for sure!
I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t sell it in a day! Great photos & a lovely boat well kept up. Best wishes & loving your new adventure in life!
Yes, the boat is beautiful, but Pat, it always makes me sad when you travel alone.
You’re right. The boat has never looked better. Great pics as always.
I’ve always enjoyed the blog and will continue to, but I am sad that the sailing journey is over. Again, I’ll continue to enjoy the blog, but I’ll always hold out hope that you’ll return to sailing someday.
Best wishes to the family.
Thanks all. We’ve long lamented the state of the photos in boat ads. I’ve just never understood how someone could be trying to sell something costing tens, and more often hundreds of thousands of dollars, but yet they can’t spend two hours cleaning up the boat and taking some nice pictures. A tip for future boat sellers: If you are hopeless with a camera, then hire a photographer for what, maybe $200, to come and take some professional shots. No thumbs in the pictures, no underwear lying about, no ash trays on the table, and no beer can pyramids in the galley.
Definitely one of the best ‘Boat for Sale’ photos I’ve seen!
So Pat thats what took all your time! …. removing the evidence of a last bachelor party before Ali saw it! Now the truth is out. Oh,I checked and you can bring the Travco out here without too many probs (apart from paying for petrol)so we may see you one day after all.
Muzza.
Kind of sad to see another Bum Fuzzle up for sale, but will be following your RV adventures:)
That is one beautiful boat.
Damn, it looks great inside and out and at that price even I want to buy it and start a new life in the tropics. I know nothing about boats and get seasick on anything less than a cruise ship. But that never stopped you two.
We’re planning on selling out and moving into our 32 ft RV this year but a boat seems a lot more exciting from my perspective. No doubt an RV can be very comfortable and practical with more travel opportunities but I’ve never seen one with a soulful teak interior like that.
Fair price for a great boat! If I didn’t already have a boat, I’d be interested. It should sell fast.
Hey! Much respect to you and your family for living such a righteous lifestyle. I must say you’ve done an amazing job on Bumfuzzle. She is such an amazing boat. I’ve been obsessing over your beautiful photos for the past few days. The price you’ve set will most definitely be drawing many customers. But somehow by the grace of God if she happens to still be for sale in 11 months, you can call me a proud new owner. Unless my girlfriend decides to quit her masters degree or somehow finishes early……hmmmmm
Great blog btw. Always a pleasure to see what kind of shenanigans you’re getting yourself into. Your photos and writing provide not only entertainment value, but inspiration as well. All the best in your future endeavors!
excellent boats. price is fair. i would like to buy the boat if it is available.
