After a difficult couple months, with one extended false start with some potential buyers, Pisces is now sold. We didn't use a broker, so the process required a ton of time and energy talking with people. It was also an interesting window into the mentality and thought processes of many potential future cruisers, and we have some thoughts coming from that which we will share in a blog post soon.
In the meantime, Pisces has been sold to Roland, who spent time sailing the Med years ago, and currently owns a Contessa 26 (now for sale!) on SF Bay. Roland is excited to start cruising the NW, and eventually ports South, and we know he and Pisces will have some great adventures. She will also be sporting a new name on her transom (as much as a double ender can have a transom): Rollin' Coaster.
So keep an eye out for a familiar looking Jason 35, with a new name!
We will probably be phasing out updates to this blog, however we will most likely be starting a new blog documenting our next boat adventure and when that gets started we'll add the link here. You can also check out a side project of mine, starting to connect some of my school work with ocean sailing and weather routing: naviguess.blogspot.com

OMG...it is the end of an era!! And... the start to a new one! We can't wait to come see you guys and get to hang out on the new boat, whatever that may be. In the meantime, enjoy your time without having to labour in confined spaces doing invariably smelly jobs. xoxox. N&J
Awesome! Congrats, this is neither the best, nor is it the worst day of your life, it's just a boat. Congrats! :-)
J&J,
Cruising and maintaining Pisces has made good sailors out of you both. Well done! Your next boat will be even more fun.
