Welcome aboard! We are Chris and Marissa Neely, the crew of our 1979 Cheoy Lee 41, Avocet.

This channel shares the details of our renovations, redesigns, and refits while we simultaneously juggle our respective media businesses offscreen to keep this whole operation afloat. We are excited to announce as of 2022 we are casting off for our grand adventure!
