Hands on, do it yourself owners hoping to provide a little help and insight into owning, operating, and upgrading an ex-charter Leopard 48 we now call home!
Dave is a retired Air Force officer, Jeweler/Silversmith, and ex Boeing manager. Kitty is retired Air Force Guard Aircraft maintenance, hair stylist and ex salon owner. In 2020 we sold everything, (2 businesses, a house, and 95% of our possessions) and bought an ex-charter Leopard 48 catamaran. We’ve been sailing it around Florida since December 2020 and have been living aboard full time since September 2021. We’re currently in the Marco Island area, our hailing port. We’re both do it yourself type of people trying to make the live aboard life work on a tiny budget! We hope to document and provide insight into some of the projects we complete on our 2013 Leopard 48 and inspire others to make the jump. We only regret not making the jump earlier!
Bentley is an 11 year old Yorkie and slightly reluctant boat dog, Aston is a 5 year old supposed Tea cup Yorkie, but pretty sure she’s a tea cup Afghan, but an amazing boat dog and part time helmsman.
