is the day he/she sells the boat! Yes we signed the contract today so now Raven will belong to a man from Australia. There was something in the paper work to Marina Seca about 'until he sends shipping info' so she may be headed to Australia! Weirdly enough today is also the 2nd anniversary of us losing Hilo overboard so something to cheer us up on this day AND we think he is helping us out from the Great Beyond.

No splash for Raven after the surveyor finds this damage. God only knows when the yard can get around to fixing it (they still don't have power) which we means, no test sail, which means no sale, until all this can happen...........

Word from the broker is that Raven is OK AND the buyer is still interested in purchasing her! He's hired a surveyor to take a look and take her out for a test sail - when the yard can put her in the water.....

wind damage

a class 4 (out of 5) hurricane that luckily down graded to a Depression slams into San Carlos! Boat ownership is a tragic comedy! We think Raven is OK though seriously doubt anything left on deck is still there. Email from the storage yard says not to come down for a week until they get things cleaned up, main highway into town has a 20foot wide section washed out anyway - though we hear they are working on a by-pass. Power is being restored so we await the final word.
