Baby boat

Our purchase was closed yesterday with little fanfare. In fact, our presence was not needed, our escrowed money was all the attendance required.

We used the free time to pick up our new baby boat and outboard from West Marine and felt compelled to immediately inflate it on the patio. This dinghy is a RIB. We wanted the hard bottom so that we could drive it up on beaches with impunity.

We are adhering to the time-honored yachting tradition known as B.O.A.T. (break out another thousand). 

Monday we will pick up our new boat in Venice FL and cruise 20 miles north to Longboat Key.
