No Room at the Inn

Well, Chinese New Year has booked all of the containers on the December 29th vessel so we have been bumped to Jan 10th.  Disappointing, but not completely unexpected.  I can think of some occasions that are celebrated today that began with "no room at the inn". 

At this point, the boat has been "wet" and the finishing touches are being made.  Still lots of cleaning and dusting needed - but boy does it look awesome.

Enjoy the pix!

Update from Trevor

Your boat is scheduled to ship on December 29th

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

Enjoy the new pix

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 !
