The First Summer Part 2 - The Bigger Boat

We got a bigger boat!!! ^_^

After a month on the original Emuna, Dovid and I found that the 25ft boat was just a tiny bit too small for two adults in separate berths. SO... Dovid scoured craigslist for something in the area that would be more suitable for us.

In the end we lucked up and found out that there were boats for sale right in our own marina! Right across the marina on the next dock over, we found a dream boat for a song!

Sadly, the owner had passed away and his son already had two boats so he sold Dov the boat for about a third of what similar boats were going for online. It was a great new home for us and Nigel!

We moved all of our things over and began our new live aboard life in more comfortable digs.

Stay tuned next week for videos of our maiden voyage and more pictures of the "new" bigger boat.


Thanks for reading!

Below are links to press regarding the sailing trip around the world. Plus, a local Portland, OR TV station may pick it up as well. Stay tuned!
