We have a Mariner 31 sailboat, and we sailed it from California to New Zealand in 2011. Jared got his PhD and Christine did a Master's at the University of Auckland's Leigh Marine Laboratory while living on the boat. Then we had a baby, and now we're selling the boat. We're not updating the blog much these days.

We really need to sell her
We thought we had a buyer. That buyer really wanted the engine fixed. So we bought a replacement cylinder head and got the engine fixed. It took a long time. Once the engine was fixed, that buyer found some soft spots in the deck and backed out of the deal. We've since had an estimate of $7000 for a boat builder to repair the decks. However, we're not willing to try to manage that sort of project from the other side of the world so we're slashing the price. It sucks for us, but we just need her to sell. This is a chance to get a great boat (that needs a bit of work now that she's been just sitting for so long) for a really low price. Here's the link to the auction: https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-1590002705.htm?rsqid=b1c697c867974f4aad355c222eebfa8b
