Say hello to JADE

Crazy times for sure. We are feeling like our old selves again! Narwhal sold quickly and found a new home with a wonderful couple from Colorado. I know they will cherish her as much as we did and we wish them fair winds as they ready themselves and the boat to head South in the spring.
The dust didn't settle before we already found our next boat! She is a Cheoy Lee Motorsailer 43. We have admired these boats for years and knew of one right in our area. We were able to make contact with the owner, see if he had any interest in selling her. He did, we settle on a price and four days later we passed papers.
We have a short list of things we want to do before we head back to Cape Cod for the summer. We are trying to take a very different approach with JADE. She is mechanically sound, with a lot of upgrades done by the previous owner. She is slightly challenged interior wise, but we have no doubt we can make her beautiful, clean and comfortable. Salon cushions have been completed, galley storage is getting fresh paint, a little varnish here and there and a new stove and propane system is on order....other than that we are trying to reel ourselves in and not get too crazy. We have no doubt that we have just purchased our last boat so there is no mad dash to get her perfect. She will be clean, safe and comfortable, the most important things. We are both super excited. I do believe in fate......and the timing of everything just seemed to fall into place. I believe it was truly meant to be. We are very happy!!!!!
