we are doing it

We decided.

We pulled the trigger.

We hired a boat captain to bring our boat up.

Well, good, that’s done…

That rock my Better Half kicked over netted a really good option.  That option was a captain/mechanic who was willing to coordinate getting our boat back into the water, fix the engine, and motor/sail it from North Carolina to New Jersey for a reasonable price.  All these things are good, important and stress-reducing.  He also gave the impression that he was a little more relaxed, a little more DIY, a little more forgiving of the inevitable things that would go wrong with this devil boat.

Thanks captain/mechanic.  One less thing to worry about!
