We just got back to Dallas from Houston (Dayton actually) & are headed off to bible study with the McKinney Ave Group. We had a successful survey on Saturday, hauling our future (and yet to be named) home for a complete inspection. On Friday evening we drove down to Christie’s parents house, getting in around midnight. A quick six hour nap & we were headed down to Seabrook to meet our surveyor. Drake Epple, from Perry’s Marine Survey came highly recommended & has helped immensely throughout the whole process. He actually looked this vessel over when we first viewed her a few weeks ago and was impressed then. A full day began with hauling her out of the water …… looking her over from the bottom up, including Drake snapping photos for his survey report.

Sunday, March 01st, 2009 / Christie & Matt
After a few hours down the salon (while Christie practiced napping in the V-berth), we wrapped the day up by an inspection of the mast head and rigging. That involved me going up the mast (voluntarily) in about 30 knots of wind.
Unfortunately it was a little too windy to go for a sea trial as we don’t own the boat yet and didn’t want to break anything. So, it’s another drive to Seabrook in two weeks so we can take her for a sail, sign the paper work and move her to our new slip.
The biggest decision we now face is what to name her …
