Inhale, exhale …
It’s been a long time … 2020 was a year like no other. A year of great loss and personal reflection. Yes, we are among the very fortunate. Persistent caution has been rewarded after canceling travel plans, avoiding human interaction, wearing a mask with diligence, and washing our hands until they ache; YES we are VERY thankful to be alive and well.
You may have heard, in December of 2019, before COVID19 spread into a global tragedy, we sold the original Exhale in anticipation of her replacement – the exact same sized boat – with a fresh design. Well, the waiting is finally over!!
After more than a year on dry land, Capt. Rick and his first mate are now fully vaccinated (thanks, Moderna!) and ready to travel with our beloved friends on Tonto’s Reward (Fleming) and Treble in Paradise (another North Pacific). IF you want to know more about our friends, take a look at the 2019 Bahama adventures in this blog.
YES! Blog posts will begin soon … the new M/V Exhale plans to navigate the waters from southwest Florida to northern Maine, and possibly into Canada if it opens up. We have no firm plans, but we expect to be on the water from late April through October (tbd) of 2021. On board for the first leg of our journey will be familiar crew, Craig and Maureen! Life on the water is great with a private chef – YOLO! We hope you will follow us.
But first, here’s an introduction to the new coastal beauty. Yes, that’s her, the first North Pacific 49 euro style, cruising on the cover of the April PassageMaker! Click here for more pictures (be sure to check out the Gallery of photos in this link). Thanks, Andrew for the great story!
With significant input from the captain, North Pacific Yachts designed the new 49′ pilot house trawler with state-of-the-art navigation and operating systems, including a water maker and gyro stabilizer for long journeys. And for the first mate – LOTS of natural light from those gorgeous windows.
Yes, Maddie Sue approved the numerous interior upgrades!
