A Journey of Transformation: From Coastal Cruiser to Bluewater Legend

In March 2023, a dream was set in motion in the British Virgin Islands. We acquired a beautiful vessel, eager to embark on a grand circumnavigation. The boat, originally a coastal cruiser, underwent a complete transformation. We meticulously upgraded and serviced every system, turning it into a fully operational and reliable bluewater cruiser.

Our adventure began with a sail from the BVI down to Grenada, where we marveled at the vibrant culture and pristine beaches. From there, we navigated up to Florida, exploring countless awe-inspiring islands along the way. Each stop unveiled new treasures--hidden coves, bustling local markets, and serene, untouched beaches.

Our journey was not just about the destinations but also the thrilling experiences. We dove into the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean, discovering mesmerizing underwater worlds. Each dive was a testament to the boat's transformation, providing a perfect platform for both exploration and relaxation.

After months of sailing, diving, and island hopping, we returned to Grenada, our hearts full of memories and our spirits high. This boat, once a simple coastal cruiser, had become our trusted companion in a grand adventure, proving its worth as a true bluewater legend.

Enhancements include a 120m (~392ft) 14mm galvanized anchor chain, Marleon by Forespare thru hulls, and a Solar Arch with 2940 Wp bifacial panels, plus a 25m² Bimini with 2500 Wp solar panels.
