I am pleased to announce that after some time consulting with someone who was considering living aboard and been looking for a liveaboard sailboat that a purchase has occurred !!!
In the interest of their privacy, I won’t name this person outright. I can say that they are one of our very best friends and that they have appeared in our blog.
And this is their new boat !!
I edited the name of the boat out of the photo, since, it wouldn’t do much good to not name them but then leave the name of the boat visible ….😝….I’m sure there is a renaming ceremony in the not too distant future, though.
I found this particular boat by coincidence while recently visiting with our friend while we were drinking coffee one morning. I was browsing online for the model of boat they liked. As it turned out, the boat was only about ten miles from their house!!
The boat is an Island Packet 350….a great design and this one was apparently owned by someone who was amazingly meticulous and had a great eye for detail. We had only spent about ten minutes on the boat and I could already tell that this was the one for our friend. A full survey confirmed my suspicions that the boat was in fantastic shape and ready to go sailing. She’s scheduled for a bottom job in January and then our friend is planning to make the transition to living aboard over the next few months.
Congratulations to……well,….you know who you are ……haha
