It's good to hear that you were happy with the boat after your trip. Do you have any stories or pictures from your time on your P28-1? The keel was the biggest problem but as you probably know everything takes a lot of work and I'm still plugging away at it. It will be a good boat when she's done though.

I and one frined took this same boat all the way to panama in the 90's its a great boat. Sail on little bro and don't stress it looks great.

It's obviously had some care at some point--looks a lot cleaner than some I've seen. The lack of trim between liner and hull in v-berth compartment is, unfortunately, original--you'll have to make some out of thin ply or masonite or plastic. It'll make sleeping up there much more aesthetically pleasing. I think the most important things to address are that keel crack, which is way beyond normal--and the mast partner (through the deck), which is likely rotten. Also, the end of the mast, where it hits the keel, will almost certainly have to be cut off and set on a riser. Most of us have done this project--it's a universal age-related issue. Detailed instructions are available. Other than that, I'd check the condition of the through-hull valves, and if they're those old brass gate valves, plan to replace them asap with properly-backed bronze or Marelon seacocks.
