Although I have not posted lately, the catamaran dream is still very much alive in my mind. I am working very hard now so that I can make this dream come true in the future. It is not easy. We are still stuck in the mud financially but the economy is beginning to show signs of improvement. I am very hopeful and optimistic that one way one day I will be cruising behind the wheel of my very on Catamaran. At the very least i will bareboat charter a Cat to get the feel for it. I won't be fully satisfied until I can chart my own course aboard my own ship on my own schedule.The plan in the spring of 2011 is to continue sailing classes which will include Bareboat chartering and catamaran sailing. I believe Mary Swift of Afterguard Sailing Academy indicated I may be able to combine the two into one class. We shall see.
I finally took some time out to do a little Googling for anything new regarding Catamarans. The charter cat called Catatonic which is a Lagoon 440 popped up. It peaked my interest because it comes equipped with Scuba equipment. For those that don't know I also help run a web site called DiversOne which is a social networking site devoted to Scuba Divers. DiversOne has consumed much of my spare time which is one reason why I have neglected this blog. If I get the point where I am trained and can afford a Catamaran Sailing vacation I will look for one that has Scuba equipment and a compressor to fill the tanks on board. This cat also comes fully equipped. Even has Wifi on board. Sweet! Check out the video.
For the really big dreamers I also read about the new Sunreef Yacht equipped with Eco Friendly Solar Panels. Photo shown above upper right.
