“We need the tonic of wildness… At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.”
“Simplify your life. Don’t waste the years struggling for things that are unimportant. Don’t burden yourself with possessions. Keep your needs and wants simple and enjoy what you have. Don’t destroy your peace of mind by looking back, worrying about the past. Live in the present. Simplify!”
Henry David Thoreau
Our SaltyMare
Purchased: Oct 8, 2020 – Sold: Feb 9, 2024
Our SaltyMare was 2005 Selene 53 Ocean Trawler hull # 53030. As the third proud owners, we appreciated all that the commissioning couple who had her built did to outfit her for comfortable long-distance exploring!
Our Pearl
Purchased: Mar 1, 2024 – Sold: TBD
Our Pearl is a 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum Model. Her “commissioning owner” traded her in – with a measly 17,647 miles – in order to move on to a new Grand Highlander. As her proud new owners, we look forward to putting many, many miles on this capable “cruiser!”
“The rule is to carry as little as possible.” 😉
