Conversations with the owners of Krogen 42', Bay Pelican

Are We Having a Good Time? By Shannon Band

Marty Campanella has owned Krogen 42' hull number

78, Bay Pelican, since 1999; after years of sailing on Lake

Michigan he found he wanted a long distance cruiser. He

cruised from Mobile Bay to Chicago via the Atlantic ICW.

Bay Pelican also has experienced the Erie Canal, the Great

Lakes, Rideau Canal, Ottawa River, and the Trent-Severn

and Saint Lawrence waterways. “I really wanted to go to

the Bahamas and the Caribbean. I wanted something

I could spend the rest of my life on,” he says earnestly.

He speaks with the ease and relaxed nature of someone

who’s savoring every moment.

Deb and Marty married in 2006, island-hopped to Trinidad

over a 14-month period beginning in 2009, and for the last

three years have enjoyed the Eastern Caribbean. They spend

six months a year on the boat (“one of the better parts of our

lives”), and Bay Pelican is of the few trawlers in the Eastern

Caribbean. They have adopted many characteristics of sail-

boat life–living at anchor with a wind generator, water maker

and solar panels, and moving slowly.Continued on page 2

A few months ago the owners’ group Krogen Cruisers brought to our attention that there was a Krogen 42' exploring the Eastern Caribbean. Inquiries and emails resulted in my calling Marty and Deb Campanella in late November, just before they departed back to Grenada where Bay Pelican was waiting for them on the hard. They answered the phone with chipper voices, obviously excited to tell their story. I was enthralled.

Marty was drawn to the

Kadey-Krogens because

of their liveability and

volume. It was important

to have a washer/dryer, a

nice-sized fridge in the gal-

ley and large tanks for fuel

and water among other

amenities. He looked at

various trawlers but decid-

ed, when comparing oth-

ers to the Kadey-Krogens,

“There were too many

compromises that I didn’t want to live with.”

Once the decision was made that he was buying

a powerboat, he wanted to be properly educated

and trained. He took many classes with the United

States Power Squadrons and eventually ended up

getting his Captain License. Then, the cruising of

the Great Lakes commenced with the dream of

one day cruising afar.

Deb’s boating experience is a little different. (She

literally laughed out loud when I asked.) “I had the

pleasure of cruising the Great Lakes aboard Bay

Pelican in the summers before we got married. I

enjoyed it so much that I began to share in Marty’s

dreamdream of longlong term cruising.” TheyThey agreedagreed thatthat for

thatthat to happen, it was essential for Deb to be edu-

catedcated and trained as well. “I took intense Power

SquadronsSquadrons courses: safe boating, line handling,

reading charts, weather

classes, everything.” Then,

in April 2008, it was time

to disembark with the

ultimate destination of the

Eastern Caribbean.

Marty retired about 30

days before their depar-

ture date and Deb retired

about seven days prior. They

packed up the belongings

they wanted to take (includ-

ing Bugsy the cockatiel),

locked up their house, started the engine and said

“Bon Voyage” to the life they knew. They headed

north on Lake Michigan so early in the season that

they missed the ice on the Straits of Mackinaw by

only four days. They are the first to admit that the

trip was a bit harrowing at times. When they started

out few marinas were open during that time of year

on Lake Michigan, not to mention they had to bring

propane heaters onboard to ensure they would stay

warm in the 28-degree weather. They also had 70mph

winds as they anchored overnight in Lake Huron.

But, as the weather became more reasonable they

began to enjoy their trip.

“Our goal in leaving early was to be in Montreal for “Our goal in leaving early was to be in Montreal for

the International Fireworks Competition which was

just spectacular,” Marty said nostalgically. “It was also

the weekend of the annual Festival International de

Jazz de Montreal.” From there they went to Quebec

City for its 400th Anniversary. Then they travelled

down all 900 miles of the Saint Lawrence River, and

“saw more whales than anyone could ever possibly

want to see,” Marty joked.

Throughout this journey, three other Krogen 42's

joined as a flotilla and stuck together through Prince

Edward Island, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

They stayed with one Krogen 42' until Yarmouth,

Maine, before they were on their own again. Between

Nova Scotia and Yarmouth, the two boats had to nav-

igate through an immensely foggy Bay of Fundy. “It

was literally complete, thick fog. It was stressful that

we couldn’t see anything and on top of that we had

to dodge an unbelievable number of lobster pots,”

remembers Deb. But they would not be deterred.

From there it was down the coast of Maine on

to New Hampshire. They made it to Gloucester,

Massachusetts, just in time for the annual Schooner

Festival. Then south down the Long Island Sound

to New York City and then down the coast of New

Jersey. They cruised the Chesapeake Bay and were in Jersey. They cruised the Chesapeake Bay and were in

Annapolis for the United States Sailboat Show. Marty

and Deb continued south through the Intracoastal

and made it to Florida for the duration of the winter.

In January 2009 it was time to cross the Gulf

Stream to the Bahamas and then to the far flung

islands of the Eastern Caribbean. Deb says, “One of

the worst things boaters can ever do is put them-

selves on a timetable and that’s exactly what we did

since we had to be below the hurricane line by July

1st.” They finally arrived at Trinidad in June 2009

and essentially had made a journey of 6,000

nautical miles in 14 months.

“Being a novice boater, the trip was not

exactly what I had expected. It was even a little

scary at times. With that said, I’d still do it again

in a heartbeat,” Deb says honestly. She went on

to tell me that the first two women she met in

St. Lucia had been living this boating lifestyle

for about 30 years. They took her under their

wings and to lunch, and gave her the “girl time”

they knew Deb so desperately needed. This

was the first of what became weekly women’s

luncheons, held every Wednesday at the Bay

Gardens Resort on St. Lucia. Now the invitation

is extended to women boaters from all over the

world. “Some of them don’t even speak English!

It doesn’t matter though. It’s just nice to have It doesn’t matter though. It’s just nice to have

some female camaraderie. Over 250 women

have attended the luncheons over the years,”

she cheerfully disclosed.

It didn’t take Marty and Deb long to get

Dear Owners and Enthusiasts,

atypical owner, but that is a story for another

Waypoints.) In 2004 I had the opportunity to become

a partner in the company and one of the key rea-

sons I acted on the offer is that I knew that within

the next few years, the first of the Baby Boomers

would be of retirement age and that for the next 18

years there would be a steady stream of retiring

Boomers. Boomers with disposable incomes.

Boomers with desire to explore and travel. Boomers

yearning to finally relax after working hard for more

than thirty years.

Then the most recent recession came along and

put a damper on things for both you and me. The

timeframe for you to become part of the Kadey-

Krogen family became a moving target. The immi-

nent retirement became “I’m going to need to

work for a few more years” and

those who took our marketing

message to heart were few and

far between. But they were there,

and their numbers are steadily

growing. Regardless of what goes

on around the world or here at

home, more and more are realizing

that you only get so many spins

around the sun.

I have a limited number of spins

around the sun before my daughter

goes off to college and I have

pledged to myself to make the most

of them and not fall victim to anoth-

er of our own advertising lines. “The

things you regret are the things you

didn’t do.” I have a lot of doing to do.

What about you?

I’m becoming one of you–a Baby Boomer. Yes I know, you can’t just become a Baby Boomer, we were born that way, but until one day late last fall, Baby Boomers were someone else. They were people older than me. I was not one of them. Then it hit me. My only child would graduate high school in just eighteen months. I really am a Baby Boomer. Where did the time go?Ten years ago I began working for Kadey-Krogen Yachts

because of a love for the product–a love borne from the

You know those days when nothing goes your way? When Life is like, “I’m-gonna-make-sure-that-everything-goes-wrong-and-stresses-you-out-beyond-belief-you-should-have-just-stayed-in-bed.” And then something happens that totally puts things into perspective. I had one of

those kind of days recently when I had to take my dog in

for a somewhat unexpected surgery and had unexpected

car troubles, the combination of which resulted in having its

way with my bank account. To boot, I was in the middle of

moving and couldn’t find, well, anything. My deadline for

Waypoints was fast approaching and the WiFi I needed

was inaccessible.

So why am I telling you all this? While I was working on

the cover story for this issue something Marty Campanella

said to me during our interview resonated. He remarked

that he and his wife decide whether or not they are having

a good time based upon whether they are happy.

Shouldn’t that always be how it is when it comes down to

it? Sometimes we need to step away and take a look at the

big picture. For me the big picture means that I am thankful

that I have a dog, a car and have a job that allows me to

afford unanticipated expenses. Life gets reorganized and

Waypoints goes to print. Most importantly (and

often taken for granted), my loved ones and I are

healthy, happy. Now I can see how petty it all was,

but it didn’t feel that way when I was in the thick

of it.

In this issue of Waypoints, happiness abounds not

only with the Campanellas but the Samway family,

too. The Samways departed Miami almost a year

ago and have since completed the Great Loop. For

the next Waypoints, there will be a more in-depth article about

their trip, but in this issue we present Jennifer Samway’s

thoughts as the family enjoyed time in the Bahamas before

beginning the Loop. Also in this issue are the long awaited

and highly anticipated pictures of the first Krogen 52', the

winners of the 2011 Kadey-Krogen Photo Contest, and the

Rendezvous wrap-ups from both the east and west coast

owners’ groups.

As always, if you have any questions or suggestions please

email me at Shannon@kadeykrogen.com. And don’t forget to

follow my blog at http://www.kadeykrogen.com/blog/.

Here’s hoping you and yours have a happy and healthy

new year.

The owners of Krogen 5201 wish to be kept

anonymous, but still wanted to tell Ocean Liberty’s

story since she is the first hull of a brand new

model. Mr. and Mrs. 5201 were previous owners

of a Krogen 48' North Sea and are excited to stay

in the Kadey-Krogen family. “We loved our Krogen

48', but were interested in a little bit more room

and a new design,” Mrs. 5201 discloses.

Both Mr. and Mrs. 5201 are graduates of presti-

gious maritime colleges. Mr. 5201 went to King’s

Point and Mrs. 5201 attended California Maritime.

“Because of our

merchant marine

background, we like

boats with ‘ship

names’. As far as we

could tell, there is

only one other Ocean

Liberty documented

by the United States

Coast Guard, so it’s

not a common name,” Mr. 5201 points out.

“In our Krogen 48' we have cruised in

Washington, Canada and Oregon. Future plans

for our new boat include Alaska, the Sea of

Cortez and then off to the South Pacific to ports

unknown,” Mrs. 5201 reveals.

Mr. and Mrs. 5201 agree that working with

Kadey-Krogen has been “awesome and wonderful.

It’s our second Kadey-Krogen after all. The staff

was always available and wanting to make our

dreamboat into a reality. And now we finally have

her in Ocean Liberty.”

Welcome, New Owners! We are pleased to introduce these Kadey-Krogen couples who have grabbed ahold of their dreams to enjoy life now.

“ Alan established a goal over 25 years ago to buy a proper boat when we could afford it…”

Sharon and Alan Williams are proud owners

of Krogen 48’ AE, Sharon Ann. They are new to the

Kadey-Krogen family, but not new to boating. After

Alan drove the ski boat for the University of Florida

waterski team, he moved up to a 16' Hobie Cat,

then to a 25' Hunter monohull sailboat with Sharon.

However “Once babies entered the picture, we chose

to sell the boat and

charter when we

needed a boating

fix. This included

sailboats in the BVIs

and trawlers on the

Florida west coast,”

Alan notes. He also helped friends deliver their boats

to the Abacos on multiple occasions on vessels vary-

ing from a 33' center console “go-fast” to an old clas-

sic sportfish.

Sharon says, “Alan established a goal over 25 years

ago to buy a proper boat when we could afford it

and when we actually had time to use it. We started

saving money 20 years ago for the right boat at the

right time.” They started researching and eventually

settled on a full-displacement boat. They admit that

speed is nice but they weren’t willing to compromise

all the things it takes to get there and had no inter-

est in “gas-guzzlers”. “In my mind, getting there is half

the fun, especially if you are imminently comfortable

while getting there,” Alan asserts.

Sharon Ann gets her name from the Admiral, though

7

they have never used her middle name in their 35

years of marriage. For the first few years Alan and

Sharon plan to cruise the northern Bahamas and

the east and west coasts of Florida. Sharon adds,

“Once we gain more experience we anticipate head-

ing north in the summertime, possibly to Maine and

Nova Scotia.”

They have found their experiences to be “every-

thing we could have hoped for. I like dealing with

good people, and everyone we’ve met and worked

with has felt like family,” Alan remarks. He contin-

ues, “When I looked at the calendar a year ago,

when the ‘odometer’ turned over 60, I decided it

was now or…. when?”

Dyan and Mike Warren of Cobb’s Creek, Virginia,

are the excited new owners of Krogen 5202, Suite

Judy. What is the story behind the name? “As a child

of the ’60s I could have been at Woodstock had it

not been for a broken down car, so I’m one of the

few people that admit I was not there. But my favor-

ite song was Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s ‘Suite:

Judy Blue Eyes’,” Mike explains.

Before Suite Judy was even a twinkle in their eyes,

Mike and Dyan had sailboats for many years and

had small powerboats prior to that. They made the

switch to “the dark side” in 2004 by way of a Krogen

42' and have never looked back. Most of the cruis-

ing experience on their Krogen 42' has been up

and down the East Coast and into the Bahamas.

They have also char-

tered vessels and have

explored the Caribbean,

Belize, and the Pacific

Northwest. Mike has

even delivered Kadey-

Krogens for the past

several years. With all

of their experiences,

they are still appreciative of what they have close by.

“Most of our cruising has been on the Chesapeake

and we love to anchor in its many protected coves

and creeks, especially in the fall,” says Dyan.

Selecting the Krogen 52' was a pretty simple deci-

sion for them. Because of Mike’s experience deliver-

ing Kadey-Krogens, he was able to test almost all

“ … We thought we would go for a Krogen 48'AE, but always carried a torch for a Portuguese bridge.”

they have never used her middle name in their 35

years of marriage. For the first few years Alan and

Sharon plan to cruise the northern Bahamas and

the east and west coasts of Florida. Sharon adds,

“Once we gain more experience we anticipate head-

ing north in the summertime, possibly to Maine and

the models and knew that when the time was right he

wanted a larger vessel. Mike explains, “We were initially

interested in the Krogen 55', but business dynamics

changed. Then thought we would go for a Krogen 48'AE,

but always carried a torch for a Portuguese bridge. Then

we received the drawings for the Krogen 52'. We were

almost instantly blown away with this great design that

is close to the Krogen 58', yet a little more compact and

easier to put at our dock, and we had no apprehension

about buying one of the first hulls.”

Once Mike and Dyan fully retire, plans for Suite Judy

include summers in New England exploring the Erie

Canal and Lake Champlain. They then plan to head

down to the Bahamas in the winter. They can definitely

be sure of one thing. “Every time ‘Suite: Judy Blue Eyes’

come on the radio it goes to very high decibels. It has

just always been a favorite,” notes Mike. So, if you hap-

pen to run into a Krogen 52' and hear the sweet melo-

dies of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, be sure to say

hello to Mike and Dyan!

accustomed to the lifestyle. Every morning

they tune in to the Coconut Telegraph, which

is a radio broadcast of all things Eastern

Caribbean. It covers weather, daily events,

island tours, cookouts, where spare parts

can be located and anything else one would

like to know. After listening in to the morning

program they take care of chores or any main-

tenance issues there might be at the moment.

And from there they do whatever they feel

like doing.

“Usually we’ll head into the nearest island

and take a walk or hike and then find a nice

spot for lunch,” Marty notes. “After that we’ll

usually hang out at the beach by ourselves

or with friends until cocktail hour.” Their lives

seem to be lifted right out of a Jimmy Buffett

album: islands, boats, sun, and music. What

else does one need? Partners in crime. else does one need? Partners in crime.

“We’ve made great friends on the islands

and continue to make new ones. Occasionally

two to four couples will rent a taxi and go

inland for a tour or excursion. Typically

everyday we’ll all get together for happy hour

either onshore or on someone’s boat,” Marty

explains. They tend to island hop. St. Lucia,

Grenada, Antigua, Guadalupe, Dominica, and

Martinique–all within a nice cruise of each

other, even at full displacement trawler speed.

Fortunately, now there is little need for a time-

table. “We make our decisions on what we

want to do by asking one simple question:

‘Are we having a good time or not?’,”

Marty says satisfactorily.

Marty and Deb are not quite full time cruis-

ers yet. They kept their home outside Chicago

and still spend about six months of the year

there as they enjoy having a land base to visit

with friends and family. In a few years they will

make the journey from the Eastern Caribbean

back to Florida. From there they will snowbird

along the East Coast. At least that’s the plan along the East Coast. At least that’s the plan

for now. It will all be determined by whether or

not they are having a good time.

“ Their lives seem to be lifted right out of a Jimmy Buffett album: islands, boats, sun, and music.”

following day. We topped off each afternoon with a social

hour followed by a potluck dinner one night and catered

dinner the other on tented party barges.

On a foggy Saturday morning, as a special treat, Dennis

and Julie Fox delivered a presentation of their Great Loop

cruise. The east coast’s longer cruising season with its

protected waterways, combined with the variety of condi-

tions and amazing sites both old and new, left a number

of us pausing to consider how we might make this happen

for ourselves.

As our Krog-In came to a close, gale force winds predict-

ed for Sunday building to storm conditions for Monday

spurred many of us to begin to rethink our plans for

departure as we went to bed Saturday. Sunday morning

the winds continue to build, as those remaining on the

dock wished our fellow boaters a safe journey homeward

bound. When we gather next year no doubt there will be

stories to tell of the adventures heading home from this

year’s gathering.

A big thanks to Kadey-Krogen for their local participa-

tion, support and raffle gifts. And a huge thank you to

Greg and Marcia Sorknes, Larry and Kathy Claiborne,

and Douglas and Catherine Ellis for making this event

possible. And we all so appreciate Rita Yeasting’s annual

updates of photos of Krogen owners and their pets, and

Pat Wade’s owners’ listing updates that most of us faithful-

ly carry aboard and use all season long as we cross paths.

Historic Roche Harbor was the location of the Northwest’s annual Krog-In over the weekend of September 23, 2011. John McMillin,

affiliated with the Tacoma Lime Works, acquired the

property in 1886. The harbor with its abundant deep

water and the protection offered by Pearl and Henry

islands was ideal for large watercraft, and with its nearby

ledge of the purest limestone (considered inexhaustible at

the time) McMillin built a very successful lime kiln opera-

tion and full-fledged Company Town. In the mid-1950s the

limestone supply was finally exhausted and the property

was sold to Ruben Tarte, a boating enthusiast from

Seattle. Roche Harbor with its restored buildings and

constantly developing marina and resort facilities has

become one of the largest destination marinas in the

San Juan Archipelago.

Friday was the official kick-off day for our weekend. We

had a 36' Manatee, 39's, 42's, 44's, 48's and a 58'–quite a

variety totaling 20 boats from Canada and the U.S. A num-

ber of owners also attended without their boats.

Sunny clouds and warm weather made perfect condi-

tions for this year’s informal gathering of old friends and

newer owners on the docks throughout the first after-

noon. Owners opting to do so held boat open houses the

2011 Krogen Cruisers Chesapeake Rendezvous

By Sue and Will Parry, Krogen 48' North Sea, Second Star

2011 saw another gathering of the Cruisers at Calvert Marina in Solomons, MD. It was a banner year for the Rendezvous. There were

many new events and activities with new faces to join in.

We had 120 folks in attendance for the festivities but

most interesting was the number of “wannabes” that

came this year. One couple said, “Wannabe is not the

right term. We are Gonnabes.”

We held the Rendezvous a week earlier than in

years past and added a day to the event. We were

docking on Tuesday and Wednesday, when seminars

began. Bob Smith attended this year’s “Diesel Day”

along with the John Deere guys and Drum Point Marine.

As a new feature, Katie from Drum Point Marine visited

engine rooms with the “Admirals” of the boats–no

Captains allowed!

“Gilligan’s Island” was the Rendezvous theme and

really got some interesting results, especially as a great

adjunct to the Trawler Krawl that featured a contest for

the “Best Island” on board. It was a true delight to walk

the docks and enjoy the tropical scenery. Mark and

Emily Little did a terrific job organizing the contest.

Another change to the line-up was Saturday night’s

dinner. All the proteins were cooked by Krogen Cruiser

10

“Top Chefs.” We believe it was the best food the

Rendezvous has ever had! Hopefully this will be a

repeat performance in 2012.

With four days to partake in the fun of being with fel-

low Cruisers we had the Krawl hours extended this year.

We have heard that all who were there enjoyed the lei-

surely schedule. We also had fabulous seminars stem-

ming from last year’s Cruising with Confidence topic.

Learning from fellow cruisers who left their proverbial

“box” and went on multiple overnight voyages was

inspiring. Speakers included John Martino from the

Annapolis School of Seamanship, medics Karen and

Jeffrey Siegel discussing onboard medical emergencies,

and Larry Polster from Kadey-Krogen. Their collective

experience and knowledge really generated excitement!

At the end of the event, the sense of purpose that many

left with was simply amazing. Conversations overheard

on the last day indicate that there will be new cruising

grounds to venture forth to with new and old acquain-

tances. We feel blessed to have been a part of such a

great group and now we turn the helm over to Kathy

and Frank Eisenhart, Krogen 44', Icy Devil. Safe travels!

Kadey-Krogen

Pure Form, Pure Performance, Pure Capability, Safety and Comfort

THE KROGEN 52' BEGINS with Kadey-Krogen’s signature

Pure Full Displacement™ hull form, with her fine bow and

wineglass stern. This combination creates a comfortable ride

with less slamming in head seas and avoids the tiresome

slaloming experienced on other brands of trawlers in a

following sea, resulting in an efficient 25% less fuel consump-

tion than others in her size range. She’s available with single

or twin engines and is whisper quiet even at cruise speed,

with engine hum below 60db nearly everywhere throughout

the boat. Then there’s the raised pilothouse, roomy and

confidence-inspiring thanks to clear sightlines all about, large

easy-to-see navigation systems areas, grab rails all around,

plus controls at the fingertips for captain and first mate. Dual

helm chairs are a nice touch, and unusual for a boat this size.

Aft of the helm seating, the accent is on creature comfort

with a settee plus fold out table that make a terrific socializ-

ing and observation area for friends and family. Yet, even with

all that space, the Krogen 52' is very manageable by two

people without additional crew.

Kadey-Krogen’s signature tri-level layout is admired for

natural flow and the superior style and safety it provides for

couples, families and guests. Steps from the pilothouse down

to the galley and saloon (and likewise down to the staterooms

below) are standard-sized treads and risers with a sturdy

banister “just like home.” Little wonder that the Krogen 52' is

truly at home on any sea.

The Krogen 52' offers the superb range and superior bluewater capability of its big sister, the Krogen 58', as well as many of the same design elements with a raised pilothouse and spacious living areas.

The Krogen 52' “wineglass” transom is a key component to the Pure Full Displacement™ hull and its magnificent ride.

Pure Form, Pure Performance, Pure Capability, Safety and Comfort

Hard to believe this isn’t the pilothouse of a 60-footer with size, comfort, high function, visibility, easy navigation and system access. The welded aluminum Dutch doors are watertight, and keep the elements out in adverse conditions yet allow fresh breezes on tranquil passages.

The shape of the Krogen 52' Pure Full Displacement™ hull deflects more wave energy for truer tracking than do flatter hull designs. This is especially important in following seas.

Ergonomic safety features like full-size steps and sturdy hand rails are components of the pleasing flow of the tri-level arrangement.

Incomparable Comfort Zones for Real Home Living

ENTERING THE SALOON DECK from the pilothouse, the

first thing you notice is the fit-for-a-gourmet galley complete

with full-size Jenn-Air® refrigerator, granite countertops and a

four-burner Viking® range with oven. Groceries, supplies, and

fair weather breezes come direct to the galley through the

Krogen 52' weathertight Dutch door accessed from the

starboard walkway. In the galley, you’ll appreciate how nice

it is to participate in the saloon conversation and, with the

weathertight aluminum doors open, even with those out

on the much-loved Kadey-Krogen covered “back porch.”

This comfort zone of galley/saloon/back porch exemplifies

Kadey-Krogen ambiance–intelligent, friendly and

fun loving.

The Krogen 52' saloon features a very inviting L-shaped settee

and an adjustable hi-lo teak table with stationary base and

foldout top that transforms into a dining table with room for up

to six. Just use your imagination to envision custom décor and

details that reflect your own taste in this pleasant space. Interior

woodwork is available in either teak or cherry, with a handsome

satin finish. There’s ample room in the saloon for occasional

seating and a cocktail or end tables to match your style.

The liveability and high function continue below. The master

stateroom puts the emphasis on relaxation, and also on plenty

of creatively engineered storage areas to accommodate all you’ll

need on a long passage. The master also includes a roomy

en suite head area featuring a walk-in shower.

Just look at the galley’s open arrangement and access, the large cabinets, pantry and drawers, the generous counter space and the professional grade kitchen appliances. Your choice of countertop material personalizes the interior.

Given the comfort and style of the seating/dining area, the adjacency to the delightful aft deck “back porch” and the galley, the saloon is a natural social center of the boat.

The master with island queen berth and en suite head is comfortable and well engineered with storage everywhere for long passages. Note the hatches and portlights–great for ventilation.

Cabin Accommodations for Extended Bluewater Cruising

OWNERS HAVE THE CHOICE of a two- or three-cabin arrangement, with

the master stateroom forward or amidships. Those opting for a two-

cabin arrangement can enjoy the utility of a large dedicated office space.

Two heads are standard with any configuration, and both heads boast

an enclosed stall shower. Choose the configuration that best suits you,

and welcome your guests, kids, and grandkids aboard.

Available with a queen-sized berth or with this twin single berth arrangement, the starboard-side guest cabin is chock full of storage and is perfect for kids, grandkids or other guests.

In the two-cabin arrangement, the portside area is available as a nice office with plenty of room for books, computers, comfortable reading chairs and more.

How many vessels in this size range have two en suite heads, one for the master and one for the guest cabin, both with walk-in showers? (Guest head shown here.)

Quality and Integrity In Design, Materials, Machinery and LayoutMaterials, Machinery and Layout

STANDARD POWER

IS A SINGLE JOHN

DEERE 6068AFM75,

a continuous duty

231hp engine. Option-

al power is provided

by two John Deere

4045TFM75 engines producing 121hp each. With 1,400 gallons

of fuel, range is approximately 3,300 nautical miles at 7 knots

with a top speed of 9.5 knots. Maintenance and simple repairs

are easy to learn and perform, even for the mechanically

challenged. There‘s plenty of room to maneuver around the

engine(s), and access to systems is open with no panels to

hide the places you might need to turn a wrench.

A word about Architectural IntegrityEvery Kadey-Krogen yacht model is built with true Architectural

Integrity. This design principle takes into account where the

tankage, stringer supports, battery banks and engines are

placed. Engine, shaft and propeller positions should be optimal

for efficiency. The same is true with steering. An all-too-common

practice among some builders today is to ignore this principle

by “stretching” a boat, building upon a shorter hull form rather

than a dedicated mold, and that will affect performance. Perfor-

mance involves a mathematical formula in which everything is a

variable and the goal is optimal efficiency and stability. Every

length Kadey-Krogen model is built from a dedicated mold and

tooled to achieve the best performance.

The Capability and Liveability to Make Every Cruising Dream Come True

“ It’s been an amazing time for all of us down here. Our daily routine has been pretty simple and easy to get used to!”

A Little Time at Anchor By Jen Samway, Krogen 48' North Sea, Muddy WatersPhotos by Keenan Samway, age 13

The Samway family of four has been on a great adventure this past year, departing Miami Beach and living aboard fulltime while traveling through the Florida Keys, Bahamas and America’s Great Loop. Here’s an excerpt from their blog, back in February 2011.

We’ve been having so much fun since we

arrived at the Georgetown area of the

Southern Exuma island chain. Special thank

you to the Foxes for leading us here! Our

Krogen 48' North Sea, Muddy Waters, has

been anchored in Elizabeth Harbor, just

below the monument tower (a beacon mark-

ing the high point on Stocking Island), which

lies east across the harbor from the main

settlement of Georgetown. We’ve recently

added a map/chart feature on our website

for all to check-out our current location.

But, like the old saying goes, all good

things must come to an end, so yes, we will

be pulling up anchor tomorrow and starting

our trek north, back through the Exuma

chain, to Eleuthera, then the Abacos and

finally back towards the good ol’ US of A

so we can begin the next leg of our journey

on America’s Great Loop (more about

that later). So, it’s not really the end to a

good thing, more like the start of another

good thing!

It’s been an amazing time for all of us

down here. Our daily routine has been pretty

simple and easy to get used to! Michael and

I wake up early (around 6:00 A.M.; the kids

roll-out around 7-ish) to check the systems,

put up the American flag (the Bahamas cour-

tesy flag always flies), then check the news

and emails on the web. We found that the

earlier the better for the web connection; by

7:30 A.M. it’s all choked up with the rest of

the boating community surfing the web,

checking weather sites, and downloading

emails–reducing the connection speed expo-

nentially! We’ll likely be without web access

for the next week or so as we travel to more

remote anchorages.

Anyway, back to our day. At 7 A.M. we turn

on our 16kW generator, start charging our

battery bank, and I get my morning cup of

tea! Eight o’clock brings the daily cruisers

net announcements on our VHF radio

(Channel 72). Darleen aboard the trawler

Rollsdoc (her husband Roger is a retired Rolls

Royce mechanical engineer, thus the name)

has been our morning announcer for most

the time we’ve been here (she also makes a

mean local conch chowder!); the lead posi-

tion changes according to who’s at anchor

each week it seems. Each lead announcer is

like a master-organizer, handling 50-plus

announcements on a two-way radio system.

We always read or listen to the latest Chris

Parker weather report (the undisputed, #1,

don’t leave home without it, cruiser weather fore-

casting guru in this part of the world) followed by

another 20 or so minutes of what’s up and hap-

pening around the local cruiser community. All

newly arrived and departing boaters are asked to

announce themselves and are welcomed each

morning. All boats (nearly 300 by last count) in the

multiple anchorages around these parts tune into

this local channel that is entirely volunteer based

and self-organized. When I’m out on the flybridge

doing my morning yoga, it’s been to the crackle

and hum of our and our neighbor’s cruiser net

morning show.

Nine A.M. the kids’ cruisers net hails by

announcing Kids4Sail, spontaneously organized by

our new friend Cathy on the sailing cat Curiosity.

We arrived to this area around the same time as a

big group of boaters with kids aboard. One of the

moms made a morning announcement on the

cruiser net about a kids’ “meet and greet” that

afternoon. Ideas for fun activities and boat names

were exchanged and the rest is history...she

launched the morning kids’ show, and everyone

has been connected and having a blast each day.

Activities have ranged from parent/kid volleyball

matches, tag football, capture the flag, board-

“We arrived to this area around the same time as a big group of boaters with kids aboard.”

Continued from page 19

Exuma Sound

games, jewelry making, a

knots/ropes course, kids

triathlon, bonfires, scaven-

ger hunt, kayak races,

Shakespeare reading,

geo-caching, beach-comb-

ing, a dinghy poker run and

just some general chill-out

time on the beach.

Mornings are reserved

for home schooling for

everyone with kids, so we

generally meet up between 2 and 3 o’clock on

Volleyball Beach for afternoon activities. Nothing

like a three-hour P.E. session to make the kids

hungry and ready for dinner! Keenan (13) and

Daria (11) have enjoyed these activities and the

relative independence they’ve gained, frequently

zipping off alone in the dinghy to participate,

eaving Michael and me to get around on our

two stand-up paddle boards or our inflatable

two-person kayak–P.E. for parents!

We’ve also traveled in our dinghy up to ten miles

to the south of our current anchorage. Moriah Cay

Harbour is positively spectacular, with water

colors that are hard to believe (take a look

at the photos in the February album found

on www.samwayadventure.com). We’ve

hiked nearly the entire surrounding area by

our anchorage, and each new view is more

beautiful than the previous one.

For the past 30-plus years the cruiser

community has organized a fun-filled regatta

week–races, music, kids’ activities, bake

sales, food, you name it–usually in early

March. This is all a prelude to a more seri-

ous sailing regatta organized here where top

sailors from across the Bahamas sail locally-

built sloops. Whether you are sailor, fan, or

photographer, this is the place to see beau-

tifully built boats and passionate and

skilled sailors.

It’s a close-knit community down here, a

gracious Bahamian community, and we see

the allure and why so many cruisers return

year after year. A little bit of adventure get-

ting here (only a certain type will sail to this

relatively remote place some 300 miles from

Miami as the crow flies, which isn’t how any-

one gets here of course) and once you’re

here everyone is welcomed and brought into

the fold pretty quickly.

New friends and opportunities abound.

Social gatherings crop up all over, and you

can’t help but feel comfortable and welcome

with the numerous games of volleyball,

football and horseshoes, potlucks dinners, bon-

fires, technical systems courses, weather seminars,

and musical jam sessions that pop up all over the

three different beaches in this harbor.

Alas, we’ll have to weigh anchor tomorrow and

move north before the cruiser regatta gets under-

way here. The truth is that every day here has been

like a regatta for us! So much fun, learning, and

adventure. We’re sorry to leave but excited about

what’s still to come. We arrived not knowing we’d

stay for so long, but strong winds (and resulting big

seas) in the Exuma Sound would have kept us here

for a while anyway. We now have an excellent

weather window to move north, so we’re

seizing the opportunity.

One of the most special parts of this place

is that we’ve made a number of new friends. We

know our wakes will cross again on the water and

that we’ll also visit with them on our travels (or

host them on their travels our way)!
