Silver Light

A 2008 Bavaria 46 Cruiser, new to us in 2008. Silver Light is the partner we, Cheryl and Ian, chose to live our dream and further our life's adventure. During the last 10 years, we have modified and developed her into our home - lived aboard for seven years - and now to explore some of our wonderful planet.
