Blue Pearl has been sold!

Well, as some of you already know, we finally sold the Blue Pearl. Actually, settlement was several weeks ago now but with us being in Thailand and the boat in Virginia it took some time to get the money moved around. We were sad to see her go but we sure didn't like owning two boats! It was a great little boat and just right for us except a little too small for living aboard for more than a month at a time. Now we can just worry about Whisper which we are looking forward to getting back to before the summer is over. Our friends back at the marina tell us she is fine but I keep thinking about the stuff that needs to be done before next winter. Once we get back, its got to be haul and the bottom done. Then while its out there are other projects I want to take care of like making sure all the thru hulls are in good working order and maybe removing the ones in the head that we won't need anymore once the composting head installation is finished. Hopefully, we can get all that done in short order and get on with some sailing before the season is over. Then there is the question, what do we do for the winter? Leave it a Olverson's again, take it south down the ICW or ... we'll have to just wait and see what in store for us. Ironically, with only one boat you have more options which is a good thing.
