Well, for the first time in many, many years, I'm boatless. We accepted an offer yesterday and the new owner plans on taking possession on Monday. I will likely be boatless for a year or so, but would love to remain active here if that's ok? Here's a little update on our situation. Heather and I put out a lot of cash making our move and I have a lot of student loan debt from making my career switch. Our next boat is going to be a 1999-2004 400-440DA with diesels and, although we can comfortably afford the boat now, we would strain with owning/maintaining costs and when we make this purchase, we want to be able to do a lot of cruising with it. So, we're going to buckle down over this next year and pay off my car, as well as our student loans (and a couple credit cards) off, so we can be debt free when we make this next purchase. I don't want to just own a nice boat...I want to use it. This sacrifice will make that a whole lot easier. In the meantime, we have our best friends who moved down from Michigan here, who have a nice 30' Regal that we'll be on a lot. For those who don't know, I've also joined the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue as a part time fire boat operator. They're sending me to the Chapman's boating school so that will occupy a lot of my time as well. I'm hoping the time will go fast, but it will all be worth it in the end. Thanks everyone and I look forward to sharing my boating stories again with you all soon!
