AHOY!

I'm torn between my passion for the ocean and my love for the mountains. I will take you from sea to summit and everywhere in between.

I hope to inspire you to embark on your own adventures with my blog. Enjoy!

Switchback

Switchback is a 1986 Catalina 34 designed by Frank Butler. She draws 5.58' and has a beam of almost 12'. Her hull speed is a little over 7 knots. She displaces 11,950lbs with a lead fin keel weighing in at 5,000lbs. Her keel stepped mast reaches 48' into the sky. I live aboard her year round in New England and love her through and through.
