Thanks for your kind comments. Yes someone will be getting a beautiful boat. If she is sold soon or lasts through the next few seasons it will be fine either way. Retirement has made our plans very flexable. We do have plans for cruising to Chatterbox falls B.C. and further up to the Octopus Islands in early summer. If we sell we have alternate plans to do a Vanagon Westfalia trip to the four corners of the U.S. We also hope to travel to Europe on a visit and see many of the places I flew to as a corporate flight crew member. After having sold our big girl (Formosa 51) last year and purchasing a home we have decided to use our retirement exploring. We do have another boat in our plans.

Jack I'm not in the market but love looking at boats. After watching many threads over the years I'd suggest posting photos here or elsewhere and link here. Photos will help your sale. She sounds gorgeous.
