Not Quite So Fast....

Lots of progress on the wiring over the past few weeks.  Although Trevor thinks that they are  a few weeks behind where he expected them to be and we are probably looking at the end of December for a sail date out of China - putting us in Savanah the end of January ish.
We will be putting the last push on getting the remaining equipment needed to make us legal and safe over the next several weeks (along with Christmas - the wallet will be getting a real workout :-(
Still have to pinch myself

T Minus 30

Trevor thinks the boat should be complete within the next 30 days, and is looking for a ship mid December for her to set sail to America.
We are now starting to get the paperwork side of life in the works. We took a boating class a couple of weeks ago and are now "certifiable".
Next is figuring out the registration, maybe Documentation and paying the sales tax (Ugh!)

1 Year Later - Hard to Believe

So, it's been a year since we began this journey in Annapolis and we just returned from another great visit to this awesome town and the best boat show in the US.
Started out feeling a little under the weather so decided that it was best begin the day with a Painkiller #3 in case you're wondering....
Now that the demons have been tamed...
Spent a fair bit of time in the tents working on the "accessory" list, then to the docks.  Show seemed smaller this year, which isn't surprising given the economy.  Still many many beautiful vessels on display.  We had our aha moment about 2 hours into walking the docks when we both realized that we have not boarded one boat to look around.   "Here's your sign!"  I guess we are really certain that we have found exactly the right boat for us.

~4 Months To Go

Hard to believe that we are only 4 months away now - seems like just yesterday that this all began.  The time now will go by fast, I'm sure - especially with the holiday season approaching quickly.
The new pictures
received from Trevor today are awesome !

Looks Like a Boat !

It's amazing what progress can be made in a few weeks.  Looks like some flooring and walls have been put in and it is starting to look like a boat.  We also received the tile and upholstery samples a few weeks ago and need to be firming that up in the next few days. It looks HUGE!
