39' KADEY KROGEN

Commissioned for a long distance trip that took her from California to Alaska, "Abina" is a beautiful example of how the Kadey-Krogen 39 is a proven design when it comes to exceptional seaworthiness in luxurious comfort. Fresh water kept, every element of this vessel is superior. Powered by a single John Deere 115hp diesel housed in an engine room/work shop space that offers standing headroom upon entry, these boats have unbeatable fuel efficiency capable of a cruising range of 2,400 nautical miles at 7.5 knots. The full displacement hull provides stability in all kinds of sea states yet she remains easily maneuverable thanks to the unique articulating rudder, large prop and bow thruster. The full walk-around deck design provides safety for the crew while they access the bow or come back to the fully enclosed aft deck. Stepping inside the interior one instantly is drawn to the stunning teak woodwork found throughout this vessel. The main salon is surrounded by windows with ample seating for guests around a custom table that converts to a double berth if needed. The gourmet galley is a marine chefs dream as not only is it tastefully equipped with a large fridge/freezer, propane stove and oven, corian countertops and storage capable of provisioning a lengthy voyage with ease, it is positioned on the same level as the main salon to keep the conversation flowing while meal preparations are underway. Stepping up into the pilothouse that provides fantastic visibility, the interior helm station is well appointed with easily visual gauges and electronics monitoring ship performance. Access to both port and starboard decks is provided by Freeman aluminum dutch doors and an additional single pilot berth is easily converted if needed. Down below the master cabin and head with separate shower is the ultimate in Captains quarters with a large centreline berth, tons of storage and easy access to the engine room if needed. Surveyed in April 2025 and available with your choice of moorage at our Sidney location or near Steveston (with marina approval), Abina is available to view by appointment on our Sales Dock at Westport Marina. Please contact our Vancouver Island Sales Office at 250-656-5832 to schedule a showing of this impressive vessel.

Walking around a Japanese castle during cherry blossom season. Moats were designed to protect—keeping outsiders out, and insiders in. Years ago, a mentor shared that insight with me while explaining life and business in Japan. But over time, I’ve come to see something deeper. In Japan, it’s not enough to simply be on the inside. The real goal… is to belong. This is another Field Note as I move toward a new chapter—transitioning from Pacific Solo to Japan Solo, exploring longevity, community, and what it means to live well and stay connected. #Japan #JapaneseCulture #Belonging #Community #JapanSolo #CherryBlossoms #Sakura #LifeLessons #Longevity #NeverTooLate #SlowTravel #FieldNotes

L'Isola Bella di Tropea è uno dei luoghi più suggestivi e affascinanti della Costa degli Dei, una piccola perla di roccia bianca che emerge dalle acque cristalline del Tirreno. La sua bellezza è ancora più straordinaria vista dal mare, dove il bianco della roccia si staglia in un contrasto mozzafiato con l'azzurro intenso del mare. Al centro dell'isola si trova il Santuario di Santa Maria dell'Isola, un luogo carico di storia e leggenda. Secondo la tradizione, il santuario fu costruito su una roccia che, con la sua posizione privilegiata, offriva un rifugio spirituale a molti pellegrini nei secoli passati. La leggenda vuole che l’isola fosse anche un luogo di mistero, protetto dai fondali e dalle scogliere, dove solo pochi coraggiosi si avventuravano. Durante il nostro tour in barca, ti porteremo a scoprire anche la Grotta degli Innamorati, nascosta e segreta, un angolo di natura incontaminata. Le antiche abitazioni costruite a picco sulla rupe ti faranno sentire come se fossi tornato indietro nel tempo, vivendo la magia di un passato lontano. Nel bel mezzo di questa meraviglia, ci fermiamo in una baia dal mare limpidissimo, dove potrai rilassarti, goderti il panorama e gustare un delizioso aperitivo con sfiziosità locali e vino calabrese. Cosa aspetti? Sali a bordo e vivi la magia della Costa degli Dei, esplorando luoghi segreti e indimenticabili!
