On our first day in Brisbane, we saw the boat we liked from the pictures. It looks good in person too, so we made an offer and it was accepted. We bought a boat our first day here. Like most all boat purchases, this is subject to our careful inspection, survey report and sea trial. So we are on the fast lane to get things done here. We will say more about the boat soon, but here is the web page for Maia:

The boat is fairly simple 32', made of steel, and well outfitted. A better deal than we could get back on the West coast, nothing like it for the money. We will have to do some work on it, but compared to other boats, there is not a great deal to do. This moved at break neck speed for me (Craig), but Evvy and I are both happy that we're moving forward. We're off to get a better look at Maia right now. More soon.

That's a nice looking boat. Hope it works out! Have fun.
WOW! You guys are livin' right! Look nice from the photos. Can't wait to hear more about the new home. How did it handle under sail or is that yet to come?

Hey Guys,
I’m sorry to have missed you. Had hoped to see you before you left California but we didn’t get through SF until 11 April.
Your steamship makes my 10’ kayak look pretty small.
Jeanie joins me in wishing you a light breeze and following seas.
Love,
Tom
