Hello from Dave & Donna Thompson
We now own a 2004 Carver 570 that we took delivery of in October of 2018. It is like new with only 700 hours on the engines. We previously had two sailboats, a 43' Beneteau and a 60' Formosa cutter ketch. Sold the Formosa in November of 2017 after 3 years in the islands. Now we are having a ball on the Carver. We are going to become snowbirds, living in Kalamazoo Michigan and then in the winters on the Carver. Currently the Carver is in Brunswick, Ga. The boat's name as purchased was "So Easy" and now is "Oh What Fun". I hold a 50 Ton Master Captain's license.

Welcome! You are literally "livin' the dream" Assume you are sailing the Beneteau on Lake MI. Come up to the peninsula this summer. I'll whip up a Margarita or 2 for you.
