This is a very, very nice boat‼️‼️ As we look to do similar, bathroom (head) size it's not so critical as, to us, we spend the least amount of time in that room on land. Rather have larger staterooms and living quarters. 🤔🤗🙂

Wow! She looks fantastic. Great find! Top notch maintenance and gentle use is evident throughout. What a perfect boat for the family.

Beautiful Boat! Congratulations & thanks for sharing.

Wow! Just love it! Can’t wait till we get under way 😉😊

So happy for you - this boat has amazing space for a 56' footer. Looking forward to your journey!

This is by far the nicest yacht under 60 feet that I've seen. The engine room is incredible. I'm jealous. That boat looks so well cared for. 18 foot beam is so spacious. Best of luck with it. Living on a boat is so relaxing. Sure there is work when living on a boat. but a house has just as much repair work. Keep good records and label date all upgrades and maintenance. Have a maintenance schedule and budget. Surprise repairs are always painful.

Beautiful boat. Can't wait to start the great loop through your eyes. It's on our bucket list as well.

Lucky y’all!!!! The more I see your new boat the more I think it is great for y’all. You will love that the fly bridge is in closed. Keeps bugs and dew out at night. Keep the videos coming.

WOW Soo Happy you finally found such a Great Boat can't wait for The Exciting Voyage of A Life Time to Start I Really need a Trip IAM ready to go Thanks

Looks like a great boat for your next adventure , I am taking delivery of my new boat next month. I hope to see you on the water, Deep Blue a 55 Nordhavn.

I'd replace that stove top with an induction stove top so you have less power consumption issues. Absolutely AWESOME engine room. A consideration for your antennas, adding a mast mounted to the fly bridge deck that you can raise and lower (either fold over or hydraulically raised this way you are NOT unbolting and disconnecting wires which love to corrode and cause huge electrical issues. You guys have a very nice boat. A washer and dryer will go a long way to making boat live easier.

Amazing how good the boat looks....thanks for the tour and look forward to watching your travels around the Great Loop. You must travel up into Lake Erie and stop by and see Niagara Falls (via a land tour), but will be able to visit our beautiful Niagara on the Lake and tie up at the marina there.

Don't rush it. Live on it for awhile and what originally seemed like a good idea, may become apparent that it won't work for you. Before you demo, live with it's functionality. You may decide to upgrade rather than reconstruct. Also, it is going to cost more than you thought and planned.

Not a bad choice after all. In fact, quite nice I would say! Good space and in good shape. Now don't get caught in the trap of trying to make it "just perfect"! That will remove the joy of the voyage. Settle with the understanding that noting is perfect in this life and that real joy comes from the road we take and the friendships we make. Not from the "mine is better than yours" approach. The things we have gives less joy and peace than the voyage we travel and the people we meat while using the Things! Find joy in friendship and reaching out!!! Let your children experience that, rather than the things! A very important lesson for life, is now to be learned....

What has happened in the last 7 months.

Romans 1:16 - King James Version 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (The Letter of Paul to the Romans) Romans 5 - King James Version 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. (offence of one - Adam's one trespass, one sin, led to the condemnation of all men - the righteousness act of one was Jesus' death on the cross to pay for human sin) Salvation is not getting your sins forgiven, it's believing they already are! We are all sinners and fall short in God his glory - how to be saved - this is the gospel of salvation - 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4 by trusting and believing the gospel of salvation you are saved and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise till the day of redemption and nothing can pluck you out of the Father his hand - (In whom we have redemption through his blood , even the forgiveness of sins: (Colossians 1:14 - King James Version) - eternal security is a free gift - it's a promise and God Almighty cannot lie!!! Have a blessed day! This is the gospel of salvation - 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4 Witnesses of Christ's resurrection. 1) Moreover,brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2) ''By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4) And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. IT IS FINISHED... Paid in Full !!! But, You Must BELIEVE IT - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV. 2 Timothy 2 King James Version 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Romans 2:16 King James Version 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. (Paul's Gospel - 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4).
