I've done the big "switch" -- from sail to power (at least for now!).

The yacht has morphed from a 55' performance catamaran to a lovely classic Grand Banks trawler based at Paradise Village in lovely Nuevo Vallarta on the Pacific coast of Mexico.

The plans for 2023/2024 are to modernize the boat somewhat and keep warm and far away from Canadian winter! Come spring, likely head up towards BC and Alaska -- but open to suggestions!

I think the next voyage will be high latitudes. Be Arctic or Antarctic. Or maybe back to the South Pacific. Any ideas?
