My boat is old, and a monohull.  Stuart's is a very modern catamaran, and
much bigger than mine IIRC.

In the marine world one usually gets a "survey" done before purchase, a
professional surveyor goes over the boat looking for problems.  The survey
happened yesterday. I will receive the report tomorrow.  If no major issues
I will pay and go get it.  It is a 1974 33' Morgan Out Island.  My intention
is to live on it, but certainly to sail it often, as in every week for long
periods.  I will be picking it up in NJ and sailing it about 700 miles back
to somewhere in the vicinity of Oriental NC.  So that trip alone will likely
take about two weeks of sailing, since I will be sailing south down the
Atlantic coast against the gulf stream which flows north, and likely against
a southerly wind (blowing north as I sail south).  Unless I can catch the
west side of a weather system which will bring the winds back behind me.  I
cannot choose the weather though, it is get it and go.  Only in the case of
a major storm would I sit it out.

And in the next year I intend to sail down to the Bahamas.  Possibly even
this winter.  The winter months are when we have no hurricanes down in the
Caribbean.  I have to get sailing experience though, and make sure the boat
is up to the journey.

I am excited to get this happening.  It has taken a long time to find and
buy.
