Tour a Swan 66
15 February 2012 | West Lemons
Denny & Becky/86 degrees, sunny
After dropping our friends off we went back to the West Lemons to visit our new friends on S/V Godot. Paul and Anne are from Norway and had a 66 foot Swan built for them in 2009 so they could sail around the world. Paul and I both grew up next to light houses and dreamed of long range travel. We hope that one day we run into them again, as they are headed threw the canal while we are headed to Europe. Since we have been it the San Blas, Becky has had her mind on a catamaran. She thinks the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. After a tour of the Swan, she has her priorities back in line. Now she has big boat fever. This is the first boat she has seen out cruising with a dishwasher on board. I tell her to dream, as dreams do come true. I also tell her good things come in small packages.

For those of you who want details which Denny didn't get into. OMG what a beautiful boat! There are four estate rooms; each has their own TV & I-Pod, bathroom & shower. Two of the rooms have a double and a single bed. The galley was spacious including all the comforts of home. The dining room table was huge with chairs that had pegs in them to hold still underway. Of course it had washer/dryer. The deck was all teak, with nothing but the spinnaker pole. Very clean look. The two steering wheels were made out of carbon fiber. I could go on as I was very impressed!
