Plans are moving ahead.. but the boat buying is proving more difficult (and more expensive) than we ever thought. We've looked seriously at two boats, survey...

we've been looking for a boat for almost
two years so I know which boats are
generally quite good which both maybe
keep away from they also belong to the
ocean cruising Club so there's a lot of
information there on the types of boats
that people sail around the world on so
we can use that as some guidance talk to
people I ask people what they'll think
about a boat and lots of people give
different opinions originally were going
to go for a mana hole then we decided to
get a catamaran now we're back to them
on the holes but a lot of it will depend
on how much it costs it will be how much
it's got on it already what the
condition of everything on it is and
whether it can accommodate us all we
think it'll be easier to get boat in
Europe because it's cheaper to fly there
it's easier to get stuff that we need
over there and it will be an easy place
to start as well woody is going out
looking at the boats
because it isn't economically viable for
all of us to go out so woody goes to
look at the boats and he videos them he
inspects them and then comes back tell
me about it shows me the videos and
that's how we decide
I think woody generally does enjoy these
trips I think he was feels guilty
actually because he goes out and always
have to kind of tell me that he's been
really busy busy busy doing his doing
both but I know that he's having a nice
time as well why wouldn't you in Greece
or in the Caribbean well only everyone
in ranker

so after Woody's done his initial
inspection if rated at that because he's
looking at boats for years and if he
thinks it's worth it and we like the
boat put an offer in offers accepted to
get survey and a survey will involve a
rigorous check of the boat basically it
checks the condition of everything on
that boat and the actual condition of
the boat both structural condition and
more finer details we made three offers
so far on boats one was a boat in
Barcelona but that wasn't accepted the
second one was a catamaran in the
Caribbean that was accepted but then we
pulled out off the survey and we've just
put an offer in in the last few days on
a boat in Greece and we're waiting to
hear back the boat is a good value we
don't think he'll accept our offer but
we're hoping that there'll be some kind
of negotiation on that and then we're
going to a nice a survey after if it
does go through if your offers accepted
and then the survey is complete and we
there's nothing in the survey that
surprises us then we transfer the final
balance and the boat is we registered
our name then we'll keep the boat in
Greece until probably beginning of
September which is when we'll be ready
to all fly out house would be hopefully
rented pack up our stuff and we'll start
the journey in Greece the wormwood is
away I just have to make sure that I'm
not picked on for as a cruise we are
aligned when he's not around
I do realize actually he's like the
silent supporter because I can only be
on standby for the I lie when Woody's
around and when he's not there I
suddenly had this of the cross quite a
bit as I'm working I try and get and do
swaps with people just mean sometimes
have to pick them up a bit later and
it's just a few more favors to other
mums but I do in return for them
whenever I can
so everyone helps each other out really
the kids are looking forward to it
they're also a little bit ambivalent
about it they don't know what's going to
happen we're going up on this boat this
has been a plan for a while so we've
been keeping them involved in it
along the way but they always think oh
maybe it's tomorrow maybe it's going to
be this boat and then they realize that
actually it isn't such a simple
procedure and it does take a long while
but I think they are looking forward to
going somewhere different I think that
like travel amazing awesomeness about
the world
