Our Journey to Today
To start off our S/V Double Deuce blog lets talk about the history of how we got to this point today. We started out like most fellow boaters, a smaller boat with dreams of something larger. We believe they refer to this as 4 foot-itis. We have progressed from a 27, to a 34, to a 40, to our current boat. We had a 40 ft X-yacht, also called Double Deuce, that we raced and cruised extensively around the BC coast. In 2004 we raced the boat to Maui in the Victoria to Maui yacht race. After the Vic-Maui we made a number of alterations to the boat in hopes of making it the offshore boat of our dreams. The one in which we needed to cruise in tropical places and scuba dive the beautiful oceans we had always dreamed of exploring. I believe it was 2007 when we decided the X-yacht was not going to work for us. This triggered our search for the elusive dream boat, one which had everything we needed to go off shore but also had a dollar amount that fit our wallet...
