About Sailing Vessel Just Drifting

Purchased in 2010 with only 90 hours on the engine SV Just Drifting, a 2004 Beneteau Oceanis 473, now with over 2000 hours on the engine has sailed from Texas around Florida up to New York, back down the east coast, through the Bahamas, Caribbean, through the Panama Canal, French Polynesia, Northern Cook Islands, Kiribati, and Hawaii. In Hawaii, there were major upgrades and once again Just Drifting passed through Kiribati, Northern Cook Islands, French Polynesia in reverse, back to Hawaii, and sailed to Alaska.
