The prospective buyers and their broker arrived today from Annapolis and
spent a couple of hours on the Navigator doing their initial inspection.
Looks like it's a done deal pending a survey. They asked my broker to
arrange it and will probably come back within the next week or so to witness
it and do a short sea trial or they may just have the surveyor do his thing
and send the report to them. The boat passed the guy's "wife" approval
criteria, so I think it's serious.

They asked if I would be agreeable to an arrangement whereby the boat will
remain here in the slip for the winter while Kingman does some additions to
the boat systems. (They would like a powered Glendenning Cablemaster
installed for a longer shore power cord and might want to have the full
enclosure refurbished or replaced.)

They confirmed that they are closing on the sale of their current boat
Monday.

So, unless the survey reveals some major unknown problem, it looks like the
Navigator may soon be history.

Impressive. Now you can buy yourself a decent fishing boat...I recommend
a 23' Parker CC with the new center console design and built in potty.
It's a great boat.

Heh, heh .... ready?

Now *why* would I want to spend 5 or 6 hours bobbing around in a CC with wet
feet just to catch a fish? I can run down to the Stop and Shop, buy a fish,
go home, cook and eat it in less than an hour.

Or, I can go to a restaurant.

When I want fish, I'll just go buy one and be done with it in an hour.
After all, it *is* all about the fish, isn't it?

Probably the fireplace sold her. Or am I confusing boats?

No confusion. The fireplace was a big hit. I told them I'd take it out,
but they said, "hell no!"
The people were pretty cool. They got a kick out of some of my gadgets ...
like the security camera mounted on the mast light so I can keep an eye on
whose hanging around the back of the boat when I am in the rack and a couple
of other little "secret" features.

Ok - what are you going to replace it with?

Come on - fess up.

I know all about the pressure sensitive switch under the gangplank
mat, Travis.

Ahh. Well, center console boats are more fun in the smaller boat size.

I still have the GB to deal with. There's been a bunch of activity on it
lately also.
I suspect it will be gone by spring, but I am not doing anything until I
know for sure.
