Can't BELIEVE it, after all these months, we signed/notarized the closing documents and overnighted them out yesterday, then today signed a couple more and scanned and emailed them, and made the wire transfer to pay for the boat, and, and... tomorrow is CLOSING! Wow, at last. Thank you, John! Thank you, Ted! Thank you, Brent and Alina. Thank you, BJ Dunson, Pensacola surveyor extraordinaire, and Mark Hyma, Pensacola engine wizard beyond compare (UPDATE: check our blog entries for Nov-Dec 2011 entitled Diesel Mechanic Parts 1-3. Mark is great but he forgot one crucial little thing that wound up costing us another $600 or so once we started using the engines for extended periods), and Dave Taylor, Pensacola paint and blister master! You all made it possible, and a lot of what we did was done on faith, and goodwill, and we are SO GRATEFUL! If any of you need a testimonial, you know you can find it with us!

Excuse me while I turn a few more cartwheels... :-)
