This is a difficult post for us to make.

Wild Goose has been our home, our safe place, and our partner through an unforgettable portion of the Great Loop. She's carried us safely through changing conditions, long crossings, and more than a few "learning moments" ...and she's done it all with reliability and grace. Life has asked us to pause our journey sooner than expected, and while that’s not easy, we’re hopeful she’ll continue her story with someone new.

She is a proven Looper, well loved and carefully maintained, and is fully set up for comfortable cruising or liveaboard life. Everything is in place for someone to step aboard and begin their own journey -- no waiting, no major projects.
