Phase one is complete. That’s what I’m calling it—phase one. Shopping for a boat, finding a boat, buying the boat, taking delivery of it, getting oriented, and learning to sail it.
Two months ago I wasn’t sure where all of this was going. But it has worked out well.
The mast is out and it’s starting to get hot and humid. That makes it a good time to head back to California for a few weeks. I’ll tend to some client business and let the SeaTek crew attend to our mast and rigging. When they are ready, we’ll head back down and put the boat together again. That will be a good time to do the navigation electronics upgrade we’ve been planning as well.
We’re grateful to the previous owners Angela and Glenn. They took good care of Roam and she was exactly as they had represented her to us. Overall this has been a smooth transition.
The biggest challenge for me has been shifting in and out of work mode throughout the day and the week. I’m not complaining. It’s pretty amazing I can do this while taking care of clients and earning a living.
