She recently returned from an extended cruise along the US East Coast, the Florida Keys and the Gulf of Mexico. Balera spent all but 5 years of her life on the Chesapeake Bay and is a solid, safe and seaworthy coastal and blue water cruiser. She has been updated and is ready for the next owner. Just bring your sea bag and toothbrush!
