Hooray, we're definitely buying a boat!

We spoke to the surveyor yesterday evening, he carried out the full survey. There were lots of minor parts on the boat which need fixing before we can use it, and there were also a few jobs for us to consider having carried out when we next have the hull blacked in a few years time. Other than that though, there are  no surprises which is excellent news.

We phoned the marina this morning and said that we were happy for them to proceed with blacking the hull. This will take about four days. They had already started servicing the engine, fixing things, and also varnishing the new roof panel which was water damaged. It's all sounding really promising, but it's also very scary - we just made a massive decision!
