Woohoo, boat now purchased and we have all but moved aboard. Only thing that remains is to rename it, as it is still registered as Walkabout. We are just waiting on the redocumentation papers to come through. On the whole very pleased. Surveyors main concern was over cracked exhaust manifold and also exhaust discharge flange on transom, however these have been supplied new by the seller, although wrong manifold was specified and had to be returned to the manufacturer. Hopefully will be resolved in the near future. Vessel needs a bit of a clean up, but we already have that in hand. Other items will be sheets and halyards that will need replacing fairly soon and cockpit seats and sail covers and some work required on the bimini, mainly to the zips.
Enjoyed our few nights aboard at Moss Point, but it really is a bit of a backwater, although it has to be said that what we have seen of the Missisippi coast thus far, still shows a lot of post Katrina damage.
