We made our move in November of 2023. We transitioned to a 50 FT. Beneteau Swift Trawler.
We cannot tell you how many great memories we had with our Catalina 445 and we will miss her. We started considering a transition to a Trawler. Lisa was ready – but Kirk, a sailor at heart, had mixed feelings. At the end of the day, he was willing to shift for reasons of health / wellness for Lisa and a bit more safety for the grandkid(s) – Elle will be 2 in April 2024 and baby Perrett expected to arrive around May 3rd.
We have already made some great memories with the Trawler. Melissa, Jay and Elle spent a week with us in January (see BVI Experiences with the Perretts). AND, we have experienced some great sunsets and a full, magnificent rainbow.
