Our conversion to the dark side is complete.* We have purchased Pelican, a Conboy 39' Pilot House Trawler, originally listed Yachtworld at:* http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1982/Joseph-L.-Conboy-Pilothouse-2438525/New-Bern/NC/United-States
*
It has passed survey and all is left is write some checks.* Our intention is to take it to Mystic, CT where we have a mooring in the river, and then to continue to cruise "God's country."* We'll live aboard for 3 or 4 months before returning to the warmth of our home in Southern Florida.
*
*Thanks for those of you who have advised these aged sailors in their conversion.* We not sure what we will do when then wind pipes up and we have no rags to raise, but some how we hope a glass of wine will sooth the pain.
*
Hope to have some pictures soon.
