Maiden Voyage! We have purchased an Aluminium Crowther Catamaran and moved onboard last week. We are now living aboard our sailboat as full time liveaboards and we are about to depart the marina for the first time and sail SV Shining Light on her first expedition. There are a few bumps along the way as we are getting used to our new boat, come learn what living on a boat is all about! Come join us as we take SV Shining Light, this Sailing Family's new floating home, on her first journey!

We have sold our monohull, SV Endless Summer, and have been on the search for our next boat. After having some bad luck, we went back to searching for a boat and have found the perfect boat, a 50ft Crowther Catamaran named SV Shining Light. We now live onboard full time with plans to circumnavigate the globe. FAQs What equipment do we use?
