Suuhaa... I love this boat. She's tough, she's comfortable and I think she's so pretty. This is the boat to take us to the South Pacific and beyond. Brad looked at so many, seriously so many, boats before we happened upon this one in La Paz, Mexico. She was up on the "hard" (out of the water on stilts) and for sale. She was covered in Mexican red dust and as we poked around, a twinkle began to develop in Brad's eye. He went back for a second look and came back to the hotel sold on this lovely Tayana 37.
Months later, Brad put her on a freighter and brought her home. The dust was cleared, a snapped prop shaft was replaced and she was lowered back into the water. That moment sealed the deal in our hearts and away we went. As we got to know each other we found so many lovely surprises. Her previous owners adored this boat as much as we do and outfitted her with so many great pieces of equipment. In the days, months and years since we've had her, we've got to know her, to fix her and prepare her to take us on any adventure. Suuhaa was built to cross oceans and that's our plan.
