Lots of TLC

20 February 2014
Starting over again...We are back to square one. It really feels like that. We have taken all sewer lines out, replaced hoses and fittings, removed grease and grime, cleaned tanks, sewn sails, replaced canvas, cushions, bottom paint, dinghy davits, props, etc. We have so much more to do but our new boat is starting to feel like a home.

Buying a new boat

20 February 2014
We sold our boat in two days. Buying a boat was a whole different story. The stress of buying a new boat is awful. People just don't take care of their boats. We would go and look at boats that people were trying to get rid of and they were just awful. The sick feeling you would get in your stomach was one that I grew to know all to well. After several month's of looking we finally found a boat that we liked and could agree upon but she needed some definite TLC. I am so happy we could get her for a reasonable price.
