Hi dear Patrons, just wanted you to be the first ones to hear these news! Last autumn we bought this beautiful steel Motiva 38 for our next adventures, Iceland and Greenland. But then two things happened 1) we realised that after all it might not be the right boat for us; and 2) we got another offer that we could not decline.

So after spending quite a lot of money and time getting this Motiva to be in shape, we decided to sell it. This was a bit of a painful decision especially considering all the time we already spent on the boat (there were some initial engine/drivetrain problems that we had to deal with).... and also a pretty big financial loss. But in the end I think it's better to maybe admit having had poor judgement and back off before it gets "too late".

Anyway, just couple days ago, after spending two weeks in Sweden cleaning and fixing more issues, we sold the Motiva. First saw this as a setback, but now there's new opportunities up ahead as well! There's a boat waiting for us in Norway and the plan is same as before, Iceland and Greenland. There's someone in this group that also knows about the mysterious boat, but I have to refrain from revealing any more details until I've OK'd it with everyone :) But it'll be soon! Thanks for your patience 😁

Good decision! If the Motivation turned out not to be quite right, it’s good to have made the change so quickly. Good luck in Norway, we are very excited about seeing what the next boat will be!

Even if this feels like a loss, there is always the gain of having learned from the experience! I look forward to hearing/seeing what unfolds next. Love to you both!
