It has been a month and we have been searching the Internet for our next boat. We originally thought our next boat was going to be a lobster style boat (Duffy, BHM) something like that.....found some pretty cool ones but none had the complete package. One had the engine we wanted but not the layout, another one had the layout but not the engine.....that kind of stuff. Then we moved onto trawlers, there are some beautiful ones out there way out of our price range, just couldn't find anything that was rocking our world within our budget. Frankly, we aren't huge sailors when we are underway, lots of motoring, but it certainly is a nice option if you have engine problems. We just don't think we are ready to be totally dependent on an engine.

We did consider a Baba 30, thought of going back to our roots with a smaller, simpler boat. We negotiated a price, but when we hauled her out she had some major issues, teak decks were spent, fuel tank needed replacing, all totally doable but we couldn't come together on a new price. That's ok, we may revisit her in the spring. We are headed to Florida in a few weeks with a couple of boats in mind. We think we may have found a compromise on the sailing or trawler or speed thing......maybe. We will keep you posted.
