Oh yeah, and I'm doing this on my own because Scott is in the Grenadines bringing home the bacon.
Not that I'm complaining, because it's not bad... I mean, we bought a boat - life is pretty good if you can buy a boat...it's just a lot. We've got plenty to do with this new boat (insuring her, getting her documented, getting her to a yard where she can dry out and where we can begin installations/repairs) and we want to keep the ball rolling at a good clip because the sooner we get all this started, the sooner we can shove off again. You get me? And here's the thing: while I am a natural leader, I am what I like to call a "passive leader" - meaning one who is just as comfortable leading as I am to say, sitting back and letting someone else (i.e. Scott) take the reigns and do all the phone calling, quote getting and form filling. Working like a madwoman from my makeshift desk that is covered in scraps of paper with barely-legible notes, water bottles and mini York peppermint patty wrappers is taking it's toll. I forgot to eat lunch the other day and didn't brush my teeth yesterday until 2pm. Yep. I'll admit it. I'm working at a frenetic pace over here and it is taking a toll on my hygiene!
Hopefully by the end of the week or soon thereafter, we can have the boat hauled out, in a decent yard and have our guy Juan start working on the deck. That's the goal at least, and how do you know what you're working towards if you've got no goal?

Exhausting...but oh so worth it! These days will fade into distant memory once you shove off! I mean, how many times did you think about sanding Rasmus' bottom after you started your adventure? No worries Brittany...this too will pass!

Boat buying is exhausting to say the least. There's so much information out there, it can quickly become overwhelming! I've been through the process a couple of times and I'd like to give you my advice on what to do when you're ready to purchase your new boat. Also, need to view website that offers thesis help at a cheap cost as I need someone to write my assignment for me uk. There are many options available, including some for-sale by owner (FSBO) boats, used boats for sale, and renovated boats for sale. And then there are various means of purchasing including purchasing from a dealer and buying from a broker.
