Etheral Star Safe and Sound

By LaDonna | June 25, 2008 | La Paz |

In Friday’s edition of ‘Lectronic Latitude, we put the word out that cruising friends of Harold Parrett were concerned about his well being as he’d not been heard from since leaving Mazatlan on June 14 aboard his Newport 30 Etheral Star. As we speculated, Parrett was just fine. We’ve received a report that Etheral Star‘s batteries had died, making communication difficult, and that the boat is safely anchored in La Paz. Such is the life of cruisers!
