When the broker finally arrived. We spent several hours crawling on, over, under, in, and through the boat. We had already decided we were going to buy her. She was truly magnificent. But also we needed to be objective about costs, and what we would have to put into her. And also there was the logistics. She was in a warehouse, in Maine. We knew there was a limited window of time if she were going to leave, or be stuck there until next summer. She had been out of the water nearly two full years, so lots of questions to be answered.
And also there was this nagging question of could we actually sail this thing? In the ocean?
An offer was made, and we left for the Portland airport, wondering what the hell we had just gotten ourselves into. Happy, excited, and terrified 🤣. Within a few days our offer was accepted. Gulp😳.
