Hope that you’ve all had a wonderful holiday. No matter your religious or philosophical beliefs, this time of year always seems to be special. I am looking forward to the New Year; I can’t help but think things are improving and that 2013 will be a good one. With this in mind, I’d like to wish you all a very happy New Year! May it be prosperous for us all!

Before the holidays, I wrote about several boats that Luke Brown Yachts would be bringing to the marketplace. One was the very exciting “Journey” power catamaran. This 47-foot dual hulled beauty is very attractive, has astonishing features, exceptional space, beautiful fit and finish and most important of all, she’s affordable. She is designed by Tim Kernan of Kernan Yacht Design.
