Title: Moved up to C34
Post by: britinusa on May 21, 2015, 12:31:45 PM
Just a quick Intro/Hi from Paul & Peggy. We've owned a C250 WB since 2005 and have just purchased a 1987 C34 Tall Rig Fin Keel in Stuart Florida.

We're driving up there to bring 'Eximius' to Fort Lauderdale over the Memorial Day Weekend.

Anyone on the ICW over the weekend between Stuart & Fort Lauderdale? (Especially Old Port Cove or Lake Boca) Let us know, would be glad to wave as we go by or dink over if you're at anchor nearby.


The boat was previously named 'Chris Deke'. We met them in Stuart a few weeks ago, really great people. Deke spent two days introducing me to the boat systems while the survey was done. I could not ask for a better PO.

We're planning on taking Eximius to various club events (Hillsboro Inlet Sailing Club) and preparing ourselves and the boat for trips down the keys and to the Bahamas as well as trips up the coast to the Chesapeake.

Retiring in November this year, so we have 6 months to get used to the boat and the boat used to us. :D

I assume that all went well and that you should be down here this afternoon.  We all await the "baby pictures."

Cheers,

Bob & Pat
