Cruising plans: For 2007, back to south-
ern England, to Baltic Sea for summer, then back to southern England. Not sure afterwards. Why Nordhavn: Great sea boat, and very comfortable living aboard. Why cruising: New places, new people, new experiences, the sense of accomplishment from a successful long sea voyage.

Steve Stroud and Carol Stogsdill, Kurt and Sue Antonius Endurance Nordhavn 43 #03 Nautical miles cruised: More than 5,000 in the two years since commissioning. Cruising grounds: Southern California. Favorite destination: The Channel Islands, which are a pristine marine wonderland absent of any human habitation, yet within reach of the second largest metropolitan area in the country. Cruising plans: Time permitting, the Pacific Northwest. Why Nordhavn: The feeling that she www.nordhavn.com
is a complete and sound boat, capable of going wherever we point her. The design, workmanship and overall quality throughout make it enjoyable to be on board, whatever the conditions. The addition of a bow thruster and flopper stopper have made her all the more enjoyable in tight, otherwise forsaken anchorages. And when the doors and hatches are dogged down in a squall, there’s no better sense of security and comfort than aboard our Nordhavn 43. Why cruising: Being surrounded by the ocean and the sense of independence while anticipating a special destination.

Robert R. Jodoin and family Travail Nordhavn 43 #07 Nautical miles cruised: Third season. Cruising grounds: Left Stuart, Florida,
for our homeport, in Newcastle, New Hampshire at the Wentworth Marina, with five friends, including Brad Smith, my salesperson from Nordhavn. He made a big difference in learning all about the Nordhavn 43, and it turned out he was also an expert in dealing with seasickness—mine. We had barely made it into the Gulf Stream when I became extremely sick and we had to put in to Fort Pierce. After a day’s rest, we started out again and made our way north for two days and two nights, to Moorhead City, North Carolina, continuing up the Intracoastal Waterway with a stop in Belhaven, North Carolina. With Brad as teacher, I got a lot of docking and anchoring practice and overall knowledge 2008-2009 | circumnavigator
