Thank-you Bushwacker

[Bushwacker]

Thanks guys - appreciate all the kind words! Would have replied sooner, but Arden and I have been "off the grid" for most of the last week at the https://aglca.clubexpress.com/conten...club_id=574480 Rendezvous at Joe Wheeler State Park on the Tennessee river a little west of Huntsville, Al. It's an intensive 4 day gathering of Looper wannabe's, those in-progress, and Gold/Platnium Loopers who have already done the 6000 mile Loop one or more times! Lots of tips and seminars about the loop from the experts who've already done it, info on places to see along the way, and tips for avoiding problems. We're now visiting my sister in Nashville prior to a visit to old hometown in Ky. prior to return to Fl.

Have had a contract pending on a 2006 37' trawler up in New Bern, NC. (see pic below) for over 6 weeks but haven't posted anything on it yet since closing date has not been set. It passed survey with flying colors but subsequently flunked sea trial due to an engine problem! Engine problem now appears to have been fixed, so waiting for engine mechanics to make a full power run to confirm fix. If fix proves successful, we'll call the engine surveyor to come back and finish sea trial. Would expect to close the deal shortly afterwards. Will change my avatar once we close the deal on it!
