Aventura sold

It was a bitter-sweet experience to sell our boat, Aventura. The empty slip, part of our identity, and so many memories! We were awash with different emotions. On the one hand we had determined that, at this stage in life, we didn't feel as able to manage her at sea under all conditions. On the other hand, we are missing the serene sunsets when on the hook in the many natural settings that were part of our trips. And then there was the camaraderie of sailors exchanging stories of travels near and far, fun marinas, exploring shores and towns along the way. It was always about the journey, not the destination. Rich experiences. But we are also happy that the new owner is just right for this Lagoon 37 cat. Passing Aventura on to another enthusiast who would take care of her and coax her on to more exploration and new horizons is a comfort to us. Happy trails, Aventura!
