FAll 2009 Began our adventure of experiencing livingaboard a boat.
After months of climbing over, under, up and down many boats and reading and talking endlessly about boats we found her!! Priority! Going to yet another marina and looking at yet another boat, I asked the Broker what boat he would show me next. Priority! A 40' power cruiser. Instantly loved the aft cabin and aft deck and the ease of walking up steps, not using a ladder! Newbies that we were, without much (understatement: read no) boating knowledge, we proceeded with the survey and sea trial. Working through all the details she became ours. Moved her over to Shilshole marina and started to learn all her systems. Through the winter we hauled all the past owners stuff and more stuff off the boat, thankful for large dumpsters. And you hear there is not much storage on a boat!!
We have discovered the terrific educational courses offered through the Seattle Sail and Power Squadron and have gained wonderful new friends.
