So far so good. Boat made it to Newport Shipyard. The guys there are a well oiled machine. We have the props off and the port rail stripped down. New electronics were being installed on my way out today. Had some great company in the yard. Jeff on the Thunderbird and Brian on the Sun Fun. My second captain Shawn Taylor, nephew Joey Smith and former owner of the California Dawn Frank Savino mad the trip with me.
Planning for the new galley was done with an architect. It’s all coming together fast! Here’s a few pics from our 400 mile trip down the coast. A few shenanigans along the way, was a fun ride but it’s only just begun. I will post up some more updates in the next month or so.

We made it down to Newport Beach, now the big project begins. Merging Southern California comfort with NorCal speed. Can’t wait for everyone to see the boat when she arrives in the Bay Area this spring. I will keep everyone updated on progress.
Some big exciting changes coming this off season. I’m waiting for a small weather break before we bring the California Dawn 2 south for another remodel. (Formerly the New Eldorado 3). We are headed to Newport Shipyard to install a full galley, paint job and other upgrades. We are fully committed to make this the one of the finest charter vessels you’ve ever fished on. I hope to have her back up here fishing spring halibut by mid to late March. I’ll keep a few updates going on our 800 mile round trip and some more pics as the project comes to a close.
