Eaux Vives Under Sail

This is the vision we had for ourselves when we left cold rainy California for the Caribbean

Eaux Vives means "white water" in French and was named by the French Canadian from whom we bought her over the internet in December of 2002. She is an ex-charter boat outfitted for Moorings by Beneteau and is essentially the 40' Oceanis. The Beneteau M405 is early ideal for cruising the Caribbean: she is bone simple, fun to sail and comfortable to live on. She is shown here beating up into Admiralty Bay in Bequia. Susie and Lance are having a blast..
