Hello Fellow Passport Owners. 

I wanted to introduce myself and my wife. Hull # 8 or  Hull 933208.  Previously known as Further has now changed name to ND Life, with the Hailing Port of Solomons MD.

My Name is Nick and Dori is my wife.  we are the N&D in the ND Life.   
So like may crazy people we are preparing to move aboard our boat in a just over a year from now. I am going through the process of inspecting systems and replacing old, outdated, broken, and missing items.  We will be doing updates along the way on our Channel. I don't consider us youtubers, we are just dreamers with a channel we use to update friends and family.  You are welcome to come along for the adventure.  ND Life Adventures  is how you can find us.  

But that is not the reason I am here.  One of the draws to a Passport was the community of support that is out there.  Knowing that I chose a particularly rare model with some age on here will marginalize the first-hand knowledge I can find but I am glad to own a classic Passport boat.  She is a tank of a build btw. I look forward to getting to know some of you and I hope to be able to add to the base of knowledge as we move forward in exploring our boat.

We used to own a P42 for 25 years.  The P51 is like a p42 supersized.  A great Stan Huntingford design.  You will love the sailing ability and masses of storage.  

Thanks, 

John Baudendistel
