Okay, I promised to update...
Yes, the first deal fell through. The guy was from the US
east coast - he made an offer and then BANG we got hit by lightning. We let his offer expire, but he seemed undeterred by the big news, made another offer, we accepted it.... But he didn't follow through - he kept SAYING he was going to Panama for
survey and sea trial, but I think he got cold feet. Apparently he is "not very handy." Not the right guy for a lightning-struck boat.
Answering one of the comments above - we only had liability, so no
insurance dollars are forth-coming, and we're not going to replace the electronics, although we did replace the
inverter which was fried up real good.
A great deal for someone who is handy and wants to start by installing a fresh set of electronics. The
autopilot is out so a
delivery to the US would be tough until some electronic
work is done.
So we'll see what happens in the next couple of months, and then, if she hasn't
sold, we'll have to figure out what to do next.
In the meantime, we're on to new things and "in recovery" - recovering our sense of
humor, although neither of us has been able to write one light-hearted word about the BOLT OF FIRE and the PUFF OF SMOKE. Anyway, the blog post with our latest is here:
