Well, it was quite a task tracking down a surveyor who’s willing to work on a Sunday. Why choose a Sunday you might ask! Well, that’s the only availability the local boat yard has for a dry-dock reservation unless I want to wait until October or November. There’s no way I could ask the current owner to take the boat to some far off location so I’ve had to pay a premium and be done with it.

I want to be on board by October/November!

I wasn’t going to have one but then thought hey, it’s nigh on 40 grand I’m parting with here… so better to purchase with all the information about the boat to hand so I know what I’m getting and what might need seeing to now and later on.

I’ve no doubt the boat’s sound but the extra peace of mind will be invaluable. After all, I’ll be living on the boat, not being a ‘fair weather rider’.

This is all falling into place so that I’ll be celebrating my first Christmas on the boat!  How fabulous!
