About the Owners (current and former)

Ken and Madeline Bartig Have been cruising the Med since 2009. She's currently in Leros, Greece (May 2014)

"… we are changing the name of Nelson's Lady to Mamma Mia! This is in honor of my mother, my Sicilian heritage and my great love of life. She will be an ambassador of good will and all that is marvelously Italian." from a 24 February 2009 email

"… I am excited and proud to announce that on Valentines Day (2009), we became the new caretakers of Nelsons Lady. The transactions were going on concurrently with the passing of Loren Hart, a dear friend of Alastair Bayne and of all LNVT tuggers. We are sorry not to be able to ever have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hart personally but I'm sure his energy cruises with all his dear tugboats. Currently our tug is in Kusadasi, Turkey. We plan on flying there in late April to begin making preparations for some summer cruising in the Aegean. I will also send new photos of her to update her image on our fleet page. I have attached a recent photo of my husband Ken and myself on our schooner, which we sold a year ago. Obviously moving from a wooden gaff rigged schooner to a fiberglass trawler is quite a 180 switch but we are ready for the new and challenging adventures that our little tug will afford us."// from a 21 February 2009 email.

Alastair and Rosemary Bayne "…Apr 30, 2000 - We have recently completed a far too major refit, gone from single engine to twin 225hp John Deeres, Koop stabilizers, Koop hydraulic 35hp bow thruster, and twin hydraulic anchor windlasses, new fuel tanks, and water tanks, second generator, Trace 2.5 KW inverter, (with major problems, water maker, new vacuflush heads, new mast and electronics, total paint job on the outside, added bilge keels, etc etc … Currently living in the UK. Vessel is in LaPaz Mexico. It will be moving south and through the Panama Canal to Florida around the end of this year.

Meet our international crew: Mallory,(an African Grey Parrot) has made 3 transatlantic flights so far, in climate controlled cargo bins, accumulating lots of air miles getting to and from Mamma Mia!. His little Greek buddy, Brando, (a singing canary), is new to the crew but a welcomed addition. Mallory's chattering and whistling is enhanced by Brando's warbling and tenor arias. Rosie is a perfectly lovely petite calico feline, named after our past schooner, Compass Rose. She's shy and very selective in her choice of friends. Basically she loves her mom and that's about it. When aboard, Rosie is the princess of Mamma Mia! although Loud engines, generators and bow thrusters send her up a wall. Her hobbies are bird watching and moth chasing. Charlie, AKA Musafa, is a very large loveable Maine Coon cat. He was a cabin boy on our schooner Compass Rose for 2 years and chief cat look-out on Mamma Mia! last season in Greece for 7 months. This summer he decided to stay home on the ranch and work on our mole situation in the garden. Both he and Rosie will be joining the crew again on Mamma Mia! once she arrives in Key West.
