Financial success assured???

Thanks, babe, for the vote of confidence on the results of my varous financial endeavors. You're being very gracious! ha ha

In any case, it will be an adventure - - -- and a good excuse for road trip.

This old boat also has a Roller Furler for the headsail, so we're also hoping we can grab that and move it over to our "real" boat too. So, if it all works out right, we'll have that improvement as a BONUS!

Stay tuned.mark

In search of a trailer

We bought New Girl recently and she is dry docked at the marina. We would love to be able to bring her home and start working on her daily in our driveway but that just isn't possible. We bought her without a trailer. So, naturally, we are in search of a trailer for her. We have been looking everywhere for one. Mark has even entertained the idea of building one. We have looked at the idea, as well, to purchase another crappy boat and just keep the trailer. The thought had never crossed my mind though in this whole search that we would now be the proud owners of not one but now two sailboats! What? Yes, her name is Slo Goin. We are driving from as north as you can get in Montana down to Fresno, CA to pick up our new boat. Now you would think that we must have found it with a cool trailer. Well that is not the fact. The trailer that it is on shouldn't even be used to haul this boat. Weight capacity that is allowed is less than what is actually there between the boat and trailer.. But, it was a good looking boat and it was one hell of a great price. So, we are fixing her up to sell her. We are looking to make money off of the deal so that when we do buy/build our new trailer, it will be practically free.

Mark definitely thinks differently than most people and is usually very successful in these endeavors so I am going along for the ride, both figuratively and litterally. Hee hee! We will be going the weekend of April 20th. Now mind you this boat is sight unseen, besides the pictures that we received, so we could be in for a big surprise. We are hoping for the best!

I will keep you posted to what we find when we get there and haul her back to Montana!
