Calypso Poet III

 

     
Home port for Calypso Poet III was the Arkansas River in Maumelle, Arkansas, although she later moved to Aqua Yacht Harbor on the Tenn-Tom in Iuka, Mississippi. Our Great Loop vessel had the following features, augmented by all the other things we loaded inside to carry us through a 13-month cruise. She was a great boat for this cruise, and we'll miss her. Calypso Poet III has new owners and new name (although she still resides at Aqua Yacht Harbor). To see details of her happy replacement (also named Calypso Poet--what else??), follow this link.
