The Boat:
Mystic Rhythms is a Catana 44S built in 1993. She is 44 feet long and 23 feet wide.
Apparently only 19 catana 44s were built and this is hull number 5. Each is a bit
different, but I think they got it right on this boat with a light teak interior and better
placement of the fuel and water tanks. The S in the 44 series means a bit fancier of
an interior. She was originally 4 cabins and 4 heads, but now is 3 of each and one
cabin is an office with a freezer.

About
Ever since I was a young kid I have had the desire to sail around the world visiting
exotic islands and meeting strange people. I have been very fortunate to be able
live my dream sailing around the world for the past 7 years. We have visited over
40 countries and sailed over 40,000 miles! I was lucky to find the right boat to
experience this journey on. The boat is now docked at Emeryville City Marina
across the bay from San Francisco. Crossing back under the Golden Gate 7 years
later was a great feeling.
