Due to a slew of personal stuff like taking on a new job, trying desperately to sell my stuff/clear out my home - I haven't been able to spend as much time as I wanted to. BUT, what time I have spent so far has been pure BLISS! I'm heading out to spend time with the PO today and we'll go over things. Instead of getting in sailing time, I've been learning the engine/electronics, moving stuff aboard (it's on a mooring - not a slip yet), getting a mechanic to "tweak" it next week - THEN I'm taking 5 days off to have sailing friends come out with me to get some water under the keel. I slept on it one night and it was absolute heaven - beyond my expectations. I LOVE this boat, and it's a great first boat. I've been devouring books on sailing, living aboard, and even some circumnavigation accounts - and DVDs on sailing/anchoring/navigation, etc. I'm already thinking about a 5 year plan to upgrade to a more "blue water" boat and hope to visit the caribbean, etc.
Thanks for asking!
