After an exhaustible search the Hudsons found Querencia, then named Nancy L, in Sausalito in 2002. She had not sailed in over twenty-two years and had never left the marina. She had no engine, or sails and was missing a mast. Many rigging parts were gone. But the teak hull, bronze centerboard and bronze floors were still in tact and in remarkable shape. They bought her on the spot and had her trucked to Bainbridge Island and a 18 month rebuild commenced.
