We gave up the last ten years of our professional careers for life, which we are enjoying on land and at sea in Mexico.
Dean and Jennifer bought Emily B in Feb, 2000 in Oxnard, CA. Emily B is a 1970 DeFever Offshore Cruiser, one of about 16 wooden boats of this model that were built in Yokosuka, Japan. The over-all length is 50 feet. We carry 400 gallons of water and 1400 gallons of fuel with a cruising range of 2200-3000+ miles (depending upon speed).
The main engine is a Caterpillar D330T turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with about 125 h.p. We cruise at about 7.5 knots.
