This is the home page for Milt & Judy Baker's Nordhavn 47-32, Bluewater. Milt is the organizer of the Med Bound 07 rally we are participating in this spring. From his web site
“This website aims to provide one couple's perspective on building, outfitting, commissioning and cruising a Nordhavn full displacement motor yacht. We came to the process with a background of many years of cruising under sail and power, but we'd like to point out that the choices we have made in building and outfitting may not be right for you. Like all serious cruisers, we have our own prejudices and sometimes cannot be persuaded by logic or evidence!”
