Boat Survey

5/31/2013

Capella in Stuart, FL

Flew to Stuart Fl to meet Destry of Destry Darr Designs, meet all the surveyors and see the potential beautiful boat, Capella! I'm so excited I am about to explode! I know there will be a lot to learn, but I think that is another wonderful part of the adventure. The boat is gorgeous and I'm soo jealous I can't experience the sea trial with Scott..

Why does Scott look so stressed out?!?!

I turn 61 tomorrow. I am graduating from corporate America on June 14th....and I'm spending Stupid Money!!! This is a poor financial decision and a bad business decision and yet may be the best decision of my life. What price do you put on adventure?

On the other hand, I could have just retired and enjoyed beer on the beach all day! Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot??????

Woo Hoo! We might have found our Boat! I'm excited!!!! I'm doing the Happy Dance! We are one step closer to The Great Escape!

A new 55 came on the market by the name of Capella. Ted Robie called me right away and said I needed to see this 55 immediately. Thanks Ted. It has extremely low hours which is a concern and will require an excellent engine surveyor to evaluate. On the other side this 55 is brand new throughout. The water maker was never turned on and obviously needs to be closely evaluated as well. Best of all this 55 is located in St. Pete, FL.

Princess, please don't get so excited. We still have engine inspection, mechanical inspection, overall inspection AND a sea trial...Lots to do and very little time...
