Terry,
sorry it's taken me so long to respond. We've had a hectic summer with visits to and from kids and grandchildren. It's certainly easier to communicate via email, so I'll add yours to my address book. You can reach me directly (Loree @ seawolfcat.com)

To answer your question, yes, we do have a washer/dryer combo on the boat. It's made by Splendide and it works very well. It's one unit and goes immediately from wash to dry, but the tub is small and it takes quite awhile for the clothes to dry. Generally, I wash things and then walk the wet clothing up to the marina dryer (2-3 boat wash loads = 1 marina dryer load), or just hang things overnight on hangars in the boat. They're always dry by morning. When we go cruising, we'll hang wet clothing on the rigging and life lines, as we did before. Can't do that now as it would be offensive to the condo owners at the marina.

Take care and stay in touch.

Loree

Tbone,
Got your message. We had hoped to leave last month, but the economy being what it is, we've decided to work for another year, then head north up to the Chesapeake to spend time with the family... then south for the winter... maybe Florida again or down Island... after that? We'll see. Good luck with your search. If you see anything in South Florida that you think is interesting, let us know... if it's close enough to Miami we can check it out for you.

Tbone,
Saw that you're interested in a cat. Bill and I live aboard a Prout Quasar (49') and really like her. We did a complete refit over a 7 year period and are ready to go cruising again. You can see what we did at CruisersLife.com. Click on the SeaWolf Page link.

Prior to owning SeaWolf, we cruised aboard a 33' Gemini Catamaran (built by Performance Cruising in Annapolis, MD) and loved her. Plenty of room and good performance.

If we can be of any help, let us know.

I do not live on her I have her up for sale in Cornado

Terry,
At this very moment (2015 hours, 1 May 2009) I am at my sister-in-law's house in Tualatin, Or. Wife and I will be in the States until early Dec for weddings, house sitting, etc.

My Advice: Don't waste money on a cat significantly over 40 feet unless you expect to have many guests. Our 43 footer is plenty of boat for the wife and me and occasional guests. The larger you go, the harder to find marina slips, not to mention more work cleaning, waxing, painting, etc.

I would be glad to answer any questions you might have either by PM or regular e-mail. Profile messages so far have not been very convenient.
