Hi everybody...hope you’re all doing well.
I haven’t been on the forums in quite a while because you know...life.
Had a back fusion surgery in December and have been impatiently recovering.
So sometime in the fall, we made the decision that as much as we love our old Bluewater, we were never going to be able to do with it what we wanted given where we are in life with our job responsibilities.
We sunk another gazillion dollars into the old boat. We had to put in a brand new generator after the old one died. We also finally gave up on recovering the v-berth and floors below and paid another gazillion dollars to just have somebody do it. After all that, we gave it to our son. He came get it a few weeks ago and brought it to League City, TX. Boat made the trip there with no problems at all. Pretty proud of our old girl. My son and his girlfriend are living aboard it for the time being.
We have been researching boats trying to find exactly what we wanted and we decided on the Cruisers Yachts 5000 sedan bridge. We love the layout of the boat. We had a contract on one in Orange beach but it did not have a satisfactory mechanical survey or sea trial. So we walked away from that one.
We now, as of yesterday, have a contract on one in Cape Coral, FL. Does anyone know a good surveyor in the area they would recommend? We always have the option of having our guy here fly over there and do it. We already have a recommendation on a mechanical surveyor so that’s covered.
And don’t ask me what kind of anchor it has cause I have no idea! :lol::lol:

I don't know how you're ever going to make this up to us.
