They can keep that stuff on the west coast.

The survey and sea trial has now been scheduled for Friday of this week on
the Navigator.
The broker is just itching to get his commission, so they don't want to wait
until spring.

Friday is supposed to have heavy rain which is no big deal, so we may as
well get this over with.
The weather has been warm, the ice has melted so what the hell.

Actually, to be fair, we should try to get it done just in case there is an
issue that changes the buyer's mind and he needs to shop for something else.

Last time I went boating in January was in Florida. :-(

If you want, I'll be glad to come over and be really obnoxious so you
don't have to sell the boat. :)

High winds! Talked to my buddy today. He had a houseboat at New Melones
Lake. Was a nice boat until Saturday. Something happened and either the
buoys got tangled or one broke loose and prevented his boat from swinging
with the wind. The wind hit it from the side and flipped the boat. This is
a 60' house boat. The house broke off the pontoons and the toons ended up
flipping. Took a crane to recover the boat. The local ranger gets his
sign. AS they are bringing the remains ashore, he says you can not do that.
You do not have a permit to remove the boat. A permit is required everytime
you remove or return the houseboat to the water. At least his superior told
him, forget it. Is an emergency and the paperwork would be taken care of
later. Now to see how much State Farm pays off.

Un-friggin-believable!

I spent a week at New Melones last summer... beautiful lake.

That sucks about your friends boat. I probably saw it, but there were a lot
of them.

Good luck with the sea trial.

Assuming it goes well, who pays for rewinterizing it?


The buyer. He's already agreed to accept my word that all the water
systems, including the four reverse cycle AC/heat systems work so we won't
be "un-winterizing" any of them. That's the bulk of the cost of winterizing
anyway as there are two full heads with showers, swim platform shower, the
galley water systems and a washer/dryer combo.

It's really just the engines and generator that will be run.

He also pays for the hauling, re-launch, survey, mechanic's inspection and
is paying for their flights from Baltimore.
So, he must be serious. Hope he likes the boat. Hope I remember how to run
it.

Heh. Remember the guy who wanted to buy it and take it to Lake Champlain?
Turns out he either couldn't get financing or find a slip or something.
Anyway, the day he went through the boat for the second time, and with his
wife and daughter for the first, my slip neighbor fired up the engines in
his older Post, right beside us. DD 6-71's have a very distinctive and, on
some boats, very *loud* exhaust note. Nobody on or near the Navigator
could hear themselves think, let alone carry on a conversation. I had to
demo the Navigator engine sound to erase the look of terror on his wife's
face.
