The Search continues!!

By now it is end of January- first of February 2015 in the Blizzard.  I have to go back a few months- almost a year earlier, we (Dean) looked at a sailboat on Long Island. First observed in Wooden Boat magazine, it was an older boat, owned by a man who had owned a boat yard/marina and had since passed on, handing the boat and marina to the "kids". His children now owned a power boat and were ready to let Dad's sailboat go at a very small price for the size of boat. It was kept in a large storage shed in the boatyard and from the ground looked to be in pretty good shape. An all Teak Fisher's Island 44ft. motor sailor, built in 1962 by the original builders of the Grand Banks Trawlers in Hong Kong, a beautiful boat. But on closer inspection, she was going to need a lot of TLC, time and money to bring her in to prime cruising shape. Also as with most older wood boats, insurance, hauling and hired professional work are very expensive and difficult to find. I was in love but fortunately, Suzan helped me keep my head on my shoulders and keep searching for something more reasonable.
So now we are back to February 2015
