Contemplating

Fred, my wife has always "allowed" me to do anything I want, but honestly, she is the one who prefers big boats. I was looking for a Flicka.

Thanks Chelle!
Our club has a bunch of sails planned for next year. Some are a couple days, others are several weeks. I'm going to try to attend as many as possible.

Finally had the sea trial this morning with great results and the closing this afternoon.  I didn't arrive home until after 4pm, so I moved our Seidelmann to our dock and will bring the Orion to the slip tomorrow. (water is too skinny at our dock for the Orion)

After so many delays it was great to get through this. Even the weather helped out. It was predicted to be 40*, 8mph winds, and raining. It was 52*, 18mph winds, and sunny. She blasted through the 2' rollers with ease and I can't wait to get her back out for a longer sail.

At the closing I was told there were over 40 inquiries on this boat after my offer was accepted, and many of them left their names in case I backed out or decide to sell in the near future.  It's reassuring hearing the boat you just bought will be easy to sell when the time comes.

.... and you didn't have to sail it home from Boston either.  Enjoy!

Congratulations CC!  I'm thinking she is as lucky as you are.  From one dedicated owner to the next.
