An LNVT in your Christmas Stocking

 

Mike and Micheley Stewart are the newest LNVT owners,  just in time for Christmas.  They purchased Seattle based Cielito but will christen her Fair Isles in the spring. They have big plans for Fair Isle as their first big cruise will be to her new home port in Seward, AK with plans to cruise Day Harbor and Resurrection Bay in the summer. They plan to be active the forum as they pursue a plethora of upgrades including a fuel polishing system.  Mike stated, “It’s really unique to find oneself feeling  so supported and resource rich when taking on a new endeavor such as owning an older boat.”  Another endorsement that you don’t just buy an LNVT but gain entrance to the LNVT community.
