My First Look At Our New Boat - Buying Our Sea Ray Sight Unseen!!! 

I was over the top with joy after making the trek to Sandusky, Ohio to see our new Sea Ray 370 Sundancer for the very first time in person!! My very first time aboard was a five hour whirlwind, as I only had limited time there before returning home. Even though my visit was short, I can tell you that she was all I had hoped for and am very happy to be calling this ship 'Boogaboo' :-)
Sadly, Anchor Girl was unable to join me on this visit, so she hasn't even seen the boat in person. Soon, both Anchor Girl & I will take another trip, spending a full day on the boat. I already have a couple of small projects to do when I'm down there again and am soooooooooo looking forward to having more time to take this beauty in. Believe it or not, I didn't even get a chance to do a full walk-around the exterior of the boat last time, so that's on the list, as I wouldn't be seeing her again until after she's been launched.
