Back on the Sunny West coast: today is arrival day ( or becoming boat owner) and it went according to plan. I am getting into the groove now, flying, renting a car and off I go! A few purchases on the way, I arrived at 2.30pm at the yacht club.
Took us 1 hour [...]
Really easy, you phone yacht Path and make a reservation on the next boat they have in your area and you are done. Yes, it’s as simple as that.
Some family member of ours, have asked us :” But the boat is far away are you going to sail it back?” Good question, we [...]
In the last two days we have been able to cross a few things off our “to do list”, and to my great pleasure I will not be alone to move the boat. Thanks to C&K (owner of the boat I crewed on this summer) they will be with me to do the California down [...]
I was warned, I had read it on forum, and it didn’t take long for the ugly truth to raise its head out of the water. The marine industry is a “Caveat emptor” world.
We are finalizing the paperwork, and at the same time looking at title and Disbursement Company to ease the work [...]
It’s official, the race is now on!… We are preparing for possession, the reality is finally setting in, it is a time for organization and being ready for the arrival of our second home. At this point our family really thinks we are nuts, two weeks from today, we will have full responsibility. The good [...]
As you can just imagine, we have been biting our nails during those last few days! Deal or no deal? You don’t really want to think about it, but all you do is actually thinking about it! Especially when you are so close…. So there you go we are very happy boat owner, and one [...]
No photo shop is done on this picture, it is not a trick!
Yet we are in Sunny California… not near San-Fransisco either, and it is not May or June weather… or may be it is simply our eyes and we are not quite awake yet! But when we openned our curtains this morning this is what [...]
We are at that stage, when you have to put in the gears, the time when you come to the conclusion that the signature on the offer are from both side! It means we have a deal. Yes this happened yesterday and we are now in the process of finalizing the big day. Almost can’t believe [...]
Yes it’s a game, only a game and we love it! Remember! we are not in love with a specific boat so no strings attached and we have time to think things through, and make wiser decisions, which makes for an easier ride.
The last few days have been fun and educational. As we [...]
As all would agree; purchasing a boat either a catamaran or a monohull is a rather large purchase with a great deal of negotiation. In our case it has been a while since our last negotiation, meaning we are putting our head back into the mode! Our first offer was not countered offer and this [...]
