WOW!… May flew by so fast I didn’t even have a chance to write an entry in my online journal. I know this is partly due to the novelty of the new boat and also because of business picking up at work. Julie and I have been spending a lot of time out boating with friends and until last weekend we’ve forgotten to take a camera out with us to document the fun. The water in the middle Potomac is still a little on the cool side for swimming, but we find other ways to keep ourselves entertained.
Hanging out with friends on the river during the summer is truly a blast! The food is always fantastic and the stories are never dull! Our boat, being the larger one in the group, has become the ‘hub’ of the pack so to speak. And because it has such a large stern deck area it has become the ’hang-out’ for all the adults!! Its nice being able to hold a conversation without having to shout from boat to boat all day! (read more »)

Well Julie and I have finally done it… We’ve bought a boat! I’ve been looking to get a nice boat for some time now and after much research we decided to go with a Sea Ray! We found a very well maintained 2006 Sea Ray 320 Sundancer (which is classified as a ’sport cabin cruiser’) for sale at a local marina and decided to throw an offer at the owner to see how eager he was to sell. Our offer was quite a bit less than what he originally wanted for the boat, but he jumped at it anyway.

I found out later that boat sales have been way down and this boat had been on the market for over 6 months! What really grabbed me about the boat is that it came with a transferable extended warranty that covers ‘everything’ until the end of 2012! We take delivery of it this coming Friday… See ya on the River!! (read more »)

Charlie and Chris looking to put something down on a new Fountain!
This past weekend Julie and I went up to Annapolis Maryland with a couple of my friends for the annual US Power Boat Show. We think we may want to become boat owners, but are still kicking the idea around, so this weekend was like a preliminary ‘test drive’ if you will, to get a feel for what’s out there and what we might be interested in if we should decide to buy a boat. We are both big on researching our purchases and buying a boat can be like buying a second home, so it shouldn’t be taken lightly!
