We Did It

We now own the boat, almost!   The preliminary survey last weekend went well, no items of concern.  We drove up to Marquette and went through the boat with a fine tooth comb on Wednesday and today we dropped off the check with the broker.  We still need to have a sea trial / systems test which will happen on May 18th when we take possession. The current owner is very meticulous and organized so we feel there will not be any problems. After the sea trial and all the paper work is completed we will spend Thursday to get all of our equipment on board and familiarize ourselves with the boat. Our plan is to depart for Mack City on Friday morning, weather permitting, as Mary has reminded me numerous times. Dave, the present owner said we can make it back in two days, we plan to take it easy and are allowing three or four.
