Astarte
FollowAstarte is a 1987 Moody 422. A 42 foot sloop rigged fiberglass vessel. We, Michael and Barbara, have been full time cruising for more than 8 years having left Florida in the USA in February 2009 and through the Panama Canal in 2011 and part of the Class of 2012 for our Pacific Crossing. Over the last several years, we have enjoyed cruising between New Zealand and the islands. With several seasons in Vanuatu/New Caledonia and Fiji. We return to New Zealand for cyclone season and have enjoyed some cruising between lots of boat work.
