Impressive, indeed! Certainly, it does sound as if you gave her a thorough "shake-down" voyage, with everything functioning correctly and you even managed to enjoy yourselves in the process!

Our 27FC. has been moved slightly further south to another marina in Key Largo, where they charge only $100 per month for dry storage on a trailer, plus free in/out and discounted fuel.

So, I purchased a nice used trailer, which I was assured would be adequate and guess what, after it had been delivered we discovered that it certainly was not. So, that is back up for sale now and the search for a replacement recommences.

This weekend, we plan to clean the cabin, galley and head thoroughly, as well as to begin work upon that mess of an electrical system. The mechanic has been asked for quotes to repair the hydraulic system, trim tabs, engine lifters, etc. and to replace the two seized sea-cocks.

Some day we also actually might get to go out on the water for a pleasure cruise.

Safe boating!
