Yes, we have bought another boat ! Crazy, we know. Actually, we found the sister ship to "Summer Wind" in Ft. Lauderdale at a great price and just couldn't resist. So we now own another Beneteau 461, 3 years older than our other one but in some ways in better shape.
The name is "Megerin", a combination of Erin and Megan.
It has been a dizzying series of events. We left Pgh. Jan.5th, drove to California fo a 3 week visit with Erin and family, then toured around seeing the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Las Vegas, Sedona, Phoenix, and many other places. We headed south and spent time in Melbourne Beach, Florida with our friends Bonnie and Lou. By this time it was March and we thought it might be "safe" (snow, ice, etc gone) to return home to try to figure out what to do next with our lives when we got a call from our agent - and the rest is history. Interesting is that we bought the same boat from the same agent in the same city.
We have had some work done in Ft. Pierce, Florida, and will fly there tomorrow to bring her up to the Chesapeake for the summer. We are nervous about this, as it is totally new ground - I mean water! (ground is BAD) - for us. Will keep you updated thru this blog and hope to hear from you too. I haven't been very good about keeping in touch this past year.
