Not long after we met I introduced Sarah to sailing on my folk's boat 'Knight-N-Gale', a 36' Lancer sloop that my family has owned since the late 80's. In addition to many daysails and races with my family and friends, Sarah and I enjoyed several great cruises through Puget Sound and the San Juans including our first trip to Sucia Island (one of my favorite cruising destinations) where I proposed almost 4 years ago!
After more than a year away from sailing, we decided about 6 weeks ago that it was time for a boat of our own. It is time for us to rekindle the wonderful times we had sailing on odd days off and cruising over long weekend gazing at gorgeous sunsets and admiring seal, dolphins and all the wonderful Northwest has to offer.
More on the process of finding the right boat later...
For now, just know that I have a great many butterflies in my belly from having signed the final title transfer and loan docs earlier today. Now we wait for the Seller to return to town on Monday and sign his docs - and then we have our first boat together.
Hooray! It's going to long anxious weekend!
