Our friend Michael is now officially the proud owner of his first boat, a Leopard 4600 catamaran. All of the important papers were signed yesterday and the funds were transferred. As you might imagine, we are very happy for him; this has been a long time coming.

Along with that of course, Rebecca and I now have a new place to live, and a new job. Today will be the first day that we’ll be taking the boat out sailing by ourselves (the three of us). We’ve already begun working into our new schedule though, which involves setting the alarm clock early so that we can get our workouts in before the day’s activities start.

Coffee made – check!
Workout done – check!
Engine checks completed – check!
Blog updated – check!

On On!

Exciting for both you guys….Will you have Michael do a guest post on his thoughts on using his boat in charter and his intentions short term and long term, etc…That might be kewl! Or you do like an interview…..Good luck to both you guys!

  If I let him start talking (writing) we might go over our bandwidth limit. 🙂
