1995 Catalina 34 For Sale


3-8-13 - La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico

(Sorry for the lame post title, I was just trying to get more hits from anyone doing an internet search.)  In order to show our dedication to restarting a "normal" life, you know that one where you go to work everyday and oh yes they pay you, we have decided the best or most practical thing to do is to put Autumn Wind up for Sale.  I would like to use the Sale/Sail pun throughout this post, but it may get old.  So, just pretend I do it every time you see the word Sale.  I will not bore you with the details of why or how we came to this decision, and we have not yet told Autumn Wind about this decision as we still have many miles to cover and we don't want to piss her off.  I will say that it took many days to decide this, some days con tequila, some days without.  Now on to the speech that everyone that googled "Catalina 34 for sale" came for.

Autumn Wind is probably the best equipped C34 that ever existed   If you don't buy her for the full asking price you would be foolish.  In fact I would buy her, but I own her.  Honestly, She is a great boat.  Quite perfect for cruising Mexico in fact.  We probably spent more money than we really needed to upgrading things before we left, but we were a little ignorant and didn't realize how un-intimidating cruising Mexico can be. We have had a great time on our trip from San Francisco until now, and continue to have a great time until the day YOU buy her from us and carry on.  In most boat adds you can hear about all the stuff on the boat.  The simple fact is we are cruising Autumn Wind right now; so that means that everything is working, and everything you need is on the boat, because we are actively cruising her.  We take good care of her, daily, because once again, this is where we live  and we depend on her to safely and comfortably take us places.  You may be able to buy a different boat that is "waiting" for its new owners.  Well AW is not "waiting"(ie. deteriorating).  She is moving and being used.  Don't worry we can get her to any of the major ports in the Sea of Cortez once the deal is done.

For all the spec junkies out there check out the add on yacht world, but if you want to buy her let us know first because we get a little bit of a deal on the commission if we bring the buyer to the table.  Thanks!!
