This Will Make Or Break The Sale Of Our Boat

This Will Make Or Break The Sale Of Our Boat

It’s judgment day. We have accepted an offer on Curiosity but it’s the survey and sea trial that will make or break the sale of our boat. Because the hired judge (surveyor) is here to expose all of Curiosity’s imperfections, determine if she is seaworthy and if we’ve been good or bad boat owners.

The prospective buyers have flown into New Zealand all the way from Washington State to take part in the process and set foot aboard their potential new home for the first time. We like to think we do an acceptable job of keeping our girl in ship shape, but we’re about to learn the truth. So no pressure, right?!

So what’s next? Once all the surveyor’s reports come back, Jamie and Anne will submit their “conditional acceptance” and the condition is the points of negotiation (the items found that need repair). Assuming all goes well, we could be boatless in just a couple of weeks. 😳

A huge thanks to Jamie and Anne for being open and incredibly kind. While it’s not a done deal (anything could happen between now and closing… hopefully not) we feel like no matter what, we gained new friends that we are excited to share an anchorage with one day.
