In 10 days the Fuji 45 will be hauled out of the water and a full survey will be conducted. If all goes well we will own it that night. Exciting. Scary. Exciting. I still haven’t even seen this boat, so there’s a chance it might not happen. If it does happen I get to enjoy bringing it back to it’s slip the next day with the help of my wife and friends. This entails motoring over 5 hours into the heart of the Delta that lies outside San Francisco Bay. I’m praying for a non-eventful day, but it’s nerve racking thinking that I’ll be steering a 35,000lb vessel for the first time down a potentially busy waterway. I’m sure it’ll work out fine:)

Below is a picture of the boat when it was hauled out by it’s current owner. I think she’s beautiful.
