Our Yacht Photos

A number of people have asked to see photos of our yacht. So I have loaded a number of photos onto the blog. They are visible as a slideshow of thumbnails on the right margin of this page. Clicking on the slideshow will open up a much larger version of them in Picassa.

These photos were mostly taken during our first look at the boat while it was berthed in Seattle. A couple of them were taken off the broker websites. Specifically the photo of it out in the water with the bridge in the background and the layout diagram of the boat.

Tomorrow I take our signed addendum to the purchasing agreement to our broker's office. It agrees to let the seller have specific damaged areas on the boat fixed, have it inspected and then we will purchase the boat. He needs about 2-3 weeks but depending upon the amount of damage found as the work is done it may take longer. We are hoping for no more than a month so we will still have the boat for the rest of the sailing season. September and October can be beautiful for cruising and sailing here in the northwest so we are looking forward to that. We also want to be able to take our kids out on the boat when they visit from Britain in late August and early September. Then we also need to have it operational so we can practice the things we will have learned in our boating classes this fall.
