My husband and I travel on our Kadey Krogen Manatee. She is a full displacement 36 foot trawler-a slow trawler, Panda Bear. Previously we cruised the east coast, Nova Scotia, and to the Bahamas on our Mason 33 sailboat. Since acquiring Panda Bear, we have completed the Great Loop, the mini loop, and cruise the ICW, twice a year. We travel with ship’s cat, Lizzie.

This blog starts with Panda Bear leaving Florida, heading north for the summer, May 2018. To view all of our prior trips, from 2009-2017, please visit artsafloat.net.
