February 2012 Ted and had purchased Xcelsior II and sailed her home from Deltaville, Virginia in April.  We had a number of incidents with the engine, two years later we are ready to do our Shake Down cruise to the illes des la Madaleine's, Quebec.  The following pictures are the denaming and renaming celebrations where King Neptune was treated with the best of rum while our guests toasted with Maderia Port. Thank you to our many family and friends that joined us at Dartmouth Yacht Club blessings by Father Robert Arsenault.
