The dream of sailing away at retirement really started years before we retired in 2008. We always loved the traditional lines of Priority and knew she was a strong cruising boat. Instead of finding a larger boat, we decided to use the smaller space on our 33 foot boat and make it into our "cruiser". It all started with thinking we needed refrigeration. We tore out the icebox and Jay designed a well insulated refrigeration unit. Then followed three more years of renovations. Refrigeration called for more batteries, batteries required more space so out came the wet locker and a water tank. That also meant a larger engine area to add an extra alternator...... you begin to see how three years just passed right by. Maybe Jay will write a book or build a website of all the renovations; he is a master and we have recorded each step.
