Done deal

Yesterday, after a 3 day long survey, we've closed on Bumfuzzle. We found a few issues that will need to be fixed before we set sail for the bash and some that will need attention as soon as we get back. Leaking water tank, bad cooling plate in the refrigerator, electrolysis on the prop shaft, hydraulic cylinders for steering are leaking... Just to name a few. However, the boat overall is solid and we are a couple of very happy sailors! The sea trial was very surprising we had her up to 5+ kts in 9kts of breeze. Before a 33,000lbs boat, that's pretty darn good!
Today is a plumbing day. Double hose clamps on every hose and removing the current 45psi fresh water pump to an adjustable one. Anything under 35psi is safe and won't overload your system including your hot water heater. I also hope to get started on servicing all 8 winches today too.
Another day in Paradise.
