You may recall back in November we bought a beautiful and very clean 2006 Nordic Tug 42, and we sold our 2013 Nordic Tug 34' "Airship". We'd had our Nordic Tug 34 for four years, and in those four years we spent over 900 nights aboard and 2,700 hours under way, went to Alaska and back four times, around Vancouver Island three times, and spent countless days exploring Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands, the Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound, the Broughtons, and the BC coast.

With all that cruising under our belts, we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted in our next-generation "Airship". So, as soon as we took delivery of our new boat, we hauled her out and scheduled a bunch of upgrades, updates, and maintenance.
