General Description:
Years ago the Owners took their leave of Canada with their young son, dog and cat and spent the next couple of years making their way down to Mexico, through the Marquesas and Tahiti before they finally ended up in the Bay of Islands. They set up home there for a decade so that their son could go back to school. Now it is time to move on pass on their lovely ketch to another adventurous owner as they have moved back to Canada.
