Whew! We have narrowly escaped being homeless! We think....
Our offer to purchase "Rigger", a 58' Hatteras Long Range Cruiser located in Stratford CT has been verbally accepted. We tendered a written offer, but the current owner is a bit casual about responding in writing. However, we and the broker representing us are confident he will do so on Monday. He seems to be a man of his word. We are counting on it!
Our current plan is to travel to Stratford on or about July 24th, to conduct the marine survey and sea trial, with closing scheduled for July 31. If all goes well, we will spend ten days to two weeks in the area, arranging for equipment upgrades, additions, and replacements of various components. We will also take detailed measurements of the various spaces aboard, and lots of photos, so we can figure out what we should take aboard with us, and what is either too big or redundant.
When we get back to Scottsdale, we will then wrap up business and personal details here, and plan our physical move aboard.
We have about three months to be ready to move south before the New England weather turns cold.
With any luck, we will winter in the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean.
