The Adventure Begins

I've always wanted a Carver. This will be our fourth boat.

We started with a small runabout, a 19' ski boat which lasted a summer.

Our next boat was a 26' Mariah which had some of the creature comforts but also only lasted about a year.

The third boat, 33' Cruiser's, gave me the idea of someday completing the "Great Loop".


She lasted a year and a half, until I cheated on her with the gal pictured above.

I take possession this weekend, but will have to wait two months before she sees the water.

Nauti-Buoy was previously owned by somebody who just completed the "Great Loop" and had outfitted the boat for that journey. I don't think I could have put together a more fitting list of options.

In the right caption you can see her cabin. I'm standing behind the Galley and shooting towards the stern.

Carver does a fantastic job of utilizing every square inch of the boat. There is more storage in the Salon than on my previous ship!

The previous owner made some very nice carpet protectors and kept this boat in very good condition.

I'm proud to call her mine (ours).
