One of the more interesting couples we met this year was Justin and Dahlia. They both were bitten by the cruising bug several years ago and finally bought their first boat here in Mazatlan. They spent a year surfing the internet looking for an affordable cruising boat. They found Tao Min here in Mazatlan and in June flew down from Montreal to complete the sale. After only 2 days on the boat they had to return home so Justin could quit his job and Dahlia could finish her residency as a vet. By October Justin had everyting wraped up at home and flew to begin getting Tao Min ready for cruising. O, did I mention that the boat had been sitting in the slip for two years without any maintenance? Or that the previous owner took all of the tools off the boat? And by the way, Justin had never owned a boat before. For the next 3 months he worked on the boat getting her ready for sea. Dahlia graduated vet school in December and flew down Christmas Eve to join him.
