Wow! We did what????

C Otter - 2005 Selene 43

OK, it was supposed to be just a hobby after we met Leonard & Lorena on "Got DeFever" in Puerto Vallarta.  They truly inspired us and when we got home we specifically said that we would just look at boats to get familiar with what we would want in our next boat.  We knew that we wanted something that we could take into Mexico some day as Leonard and Lorena are having such a wonderful time..... We wanted a full walk around deck for the safety of deck hands and pups. Why the list went on and on. We figured it would take us a year plus to finally figure out what we would want and then more time to finally find the perfect boat. But guess what????

To make a long story short, we found C Otter set up just the way we would have set up a new boat. She is fully capable of taking us to far away places. She has stabilizers, a fantastic electronics system, water maker, etc. So we've spent the last week going to Lake Union to stock her and get her ready to bring home to Anacortes. We've had a great time trying each and every restaurant that lines Chandler's Cove.

Moving day.....

What a view from the bridge!

Obviously, one happy camper :)

We should be heading out soon on our first voyage on C Otter and our first trip through the Ballard locks to Puget Sound.  Funny, I remember going to the tours of the locks with my parents and grandparents on summer vacations way back when. I was always fascinated when we would watch the boats and the fish go through. I never dreamt that I would own such a beautiful boat with such a wonderful husband and we would be taking her through those very same locks.
