Our Boat Adventure
We are embarking on a big boat adventure in Fall, 2022. We are setting off to discover the Great Loop, which is a circumnavigation of the eastern United States aboard our 42' Carver 405 Motor Yacht. For years, Eric has dreamed of doing 'the Great Loop' and three years ago, he shared his dream with me. And now we are both ready to live this dream! We purchased a 42' motor yacht which we named C'est La Vie ~'It is life'. This will be our home for the next year to year and a half. Join us here as we share our journey through posts, pictures, discoveries, joys and frustrations on this incredible, once-in-a-lifetime trip. We hope you will follow along with us and be a big part of Our Boat Adventure.
