This week as Craig was surfing the internet (he's getting pretty good) he again went into their website to check on boats available for lease. He was planning a trip out that way in late May. He didn't see Salty listed as one of the charters. Craig called the Yacht club yesterday to make his arrangements for a lease boat and the conversation included what had happened to the C Dory, Salty. Craig joked with the clerk about how he hadn't seen it on their list and how he always had tried to lease it.......that was when the gal told him it was FOR SALE. OMG he immediately came and told me and then the wheels started in motion...... It took us a grand total of about an hour to make our decision. The boat is a 2001 and in immaculate condition and the best news is we have both seen it and have even been on it although the cabin was locked.....We got it for what we consider a fair price.
Now because I already had a prior committment for April 8 thru 11th, we will leave on April 12th for Washington. Salty will retain her name and she will not be coming to Montana until mid to late May. We both didn't sleep last night. But it is a done deal, we go sign papers on April 12th.
I think it was true fate that found us yesterday and brought us exactly what Craig wanted.......perfect year, perfect condition......just a few minor changes needed to make her our dream boat!! Wow this year is turnin g out to be one of our all time greatest!! Please readers keep in mind in the cabin cruiser world of yachting.......this is a Volkswagon but a dandy one!
