Silent Dream is Preparing to Live the Dream


Silent Dream is a 1983 Catalina 36 Hull 91

Silent Dream preparing to Live the Dream

This is the beginning blog outlining the adventures of Chuck & Linda Reed aboard our 1983 Catalina 36 Hull 91.  We will not be heading south until the spring of 2015 due to the housing market cutting into our cruising kitty.
Silent Dream is on the hard, under a coat of fresh snow at this time.  We decided to keep and make improvements to her about 7 years ago, as she was paid for, and we did not want a boat payment.  Some of the improvements we have made since that decision have been a new engine and transmission and up dated battery banks.
We have always wanted to travel and have dreamed of Living the Dream, cutting lines and enjoying the Caribbean and beyond by boat.
Last year, I added a windlass, designed and built a swim platform along with a transom shower. It is working out great.

This year I started adding a Wind Generator and will probably add another water tank.
Stay tuned as we will start adding to this blog soon.
Also do not forget to visit CLR Marine at www.clrmarine.com for all your boating needs.
If you don't see it ask and we will try to get it for you.
