We have owned four boats, but this one was the best in terms of good times and happy memories. My good friend John Citso found the old Coronado 25 and easily convinced me to partner with him. The boat was in sad shape but we worked it over in a number of yard overhauls until it became a truly fun boat to sail. Best of all, however, it had accommodations that permitted overnight trips to Catalina Island and Dana Point. At one point I made the mistake of renaming the boat from"Inshalla" to "Urban Isle." I didn't know what Inshalla meant so I wanted to get something less foreign sounding. Now that I know what it means, I wish I had kept the name. We had a lot of fun in this boat and as the photos indicate, so did our friends and relatives. The first photo below shows what the boat looked like when we bought it. That's my partner John standing inside.
