Finally retired and doing full time cruising. Currently in the Western Caribbean with lots of places to explore. I will be leaving the boat in Rio Dulce for July - October, then will head out probably early November, to Honduran Bay Islands to start with

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

I have owned the boat for 9 years and have kept it well equipped. I run solar, wind generator and watermaker. I like comfortable living so ensure I keep things working

Must understand that cruising does not have a timetable and is dependent on weather. If you feel that every day has to be filled with sailing or activity then probably not the best fit. Some days will simply be hanging out, or doing chores. This is my home and not just a seasonal thing
