What ever happened?
I'm curious as to what ever happened with this purchase consideration?

Hello Bob:
Thanks for asking. The owner/seller and I recently communicated again via email. He is a very nice gentleman and a CD lover. Unfortunately, at present, we remain far apart on price - at least by my small financial standards.
I have also still not solved the issue of whether to buy a trailer, rent/borrow a trailer, hire a transport co., or attempt to sail her to Key Largo (Blackwater Sound) myself.
I recently completed a USPS Piloting and Navigation class (basic) and am giving some thought to plotting some course legs on a chart, filling up the O/B motor, getting a case of water bottles and setting sail from Naples/Marco Island to Key Largo. It could be one of my more crazy decisions - and I have made many
