Yesterday, we took delivery of Moondancer, a new 2006 Sea Ray Amberjack 290 with twin 350 MPG MAG Horizon V-Drives impatiently waiting since purchasing in November 2006.
After going through all the systems while still alongside the dealer's dock, we took her out into the Potomac River for her "Maiden Voyage" (15 miles to the Quantico Marina) where we spent the remainder of the afternoon learning to dock her.
We are happy to report there is NO PUNCHLIST, everything performed flawlessly, except docking the boat. We just need more practice, practice and then even more practice and we will have it down pat!
We go out again today and our Sea Ray sales rep will work with us on docking some more until we feel more comfortable. Yesterday, we had a cold front come through, and there was some breeze that made it a little more difficult for us. Today's forecast is for more wind, so that will make for a more challenging day!!
We plan on enjoying Moondancer to the max while waiting to get our next toy, something a little bigger .
The Captain and Admiral are happy but tired!
