Big News: Varuna is SOLD

UPDATE: VARUNA IS SOLD

We've got big news people - we are listing our beloved Varuna FOR SALE. I know, I know, how could we possibly sell her after ALL the work we've done! Well, here's the story:

We bought Varuna as a project to see what we could do with such a diamond in the rough. The 2 year refit was so much fun, full of good memories and lots of learning! After finishing her (and making some more money) we finally got the chance to live onboard and sail through the Caribbean islands. All of it was amazing and created memories that will last forever. That brings us up to date and now we have to go back to work. We run a charter catamaran in the BVI's  for 9 months of the year. During our next 3 months off, we are traveling to see friends and family and won't have time to enjoy poor Varuna. The thought of leaving Varuna on the hard in Grenada is so sad. She is in her prime and such a beauty RIGHT NOW! Everything is brand new or restored. So this is how we came up with the idea to see if anyone out there wants to buy her right now and enjoy her at her best. We can easily keep her on the hard in Grenada and come back to her in a few years, but if there's anyone out there that wants to buy her and enjoy her we thought we should share this and see. She's a boat to be enjoyed, appreciated, and loved and we are happier selling her for that reason than keeping her on the hard for us in the future. Our journey with Varuna was getting her ready for the sea again. Now that's done and and it's time for your journey to begin...

  6. Hey, I reached out to you all maybe a year ago. We bought a boat like you all and used a number of suggestions that you came up with in your blog. We are not done yet but have made a lot of progress. For example, cutting the mattress with the electric bread knife. Genius! Our site isn't as polished as yours, but if you want to look at how you inspired us take a peak. testingmysealegs.tumbler.com

  17. I love the words you express in this page . It is informative content. I admire your work . Visa for Turkey from US is electronic travel authorizations provided by the Turkish government to citizens of the United States. In contrast to a regular visa, this one is for travelers who do not want to apply for a visa in advance and wish to travel to Turkey.
