Boat Show
Today we went to the Oriental NC boat show and had a wonderful time! We
looked at an Island Packet 42 and a Cabarico 38 and attended a class on
diesel maintenance and docking without trauma or drama. After the class
we talked with two other wonderful crusing/boating families and met a
wonderful doctor who owns a 1966 Bermuda 40. So I had to go out and look
at his boat which was simply beautiful of course! Yesterday we had lunch
with one of our friends at the boat show and Hannah had a Tuna steak
burger with jerk sauce and it was so hot it brought sweat to her brow and
SHE LIKED IT! This is a serious first. We talked to several people about
getting a dingy for Grace and perhaps have a few more options.
So, about the last couple months: Sam and Wanda stayed on the boat while
we went back to Tennessee to finalize the sale of the house and clean out
the estate. It was a terrible job and took much longer than we expected.
We sold the entire contents to an antique shop. We found a wonderful
couple to buy the show 1996 Jaguar XJ6 VDP and they sent a truck to pick it
up the day of closing. And that same day one of the mechanics who worked
on our other Jaguar XJ6 decided he wanted to buy it as well so we sold
both cars right on schedule! Then we took several days to load a 6x12
foot Uhaul trailer left a 10x20 storage unit and drove to NC. We unloaded
the trailer and returned it on the 8th. So now we have storage units in
two cities. Who knows if we will ever open them up again. We cannot
express how glad we are to be back on the boat.
