ALMOST THERE IS GONE!

Gananoque - April 16, 2008

Our beloved boat, ALMOST THERE, is sold! Last September we bought a 1985 Carver 3207 aft cabin cruiser and placed our Fairbanks (shown) for sale. A buyer in British Columbia made an offer to purchase, placed a deposit, and made plans to drive here, buy a trailer, and carry her home - appropriate, since the Fairbanks yachts were made in Vancouver.

It's remarkable that someone thousands of miles away would place such trust in our transaction, not having met us or seen the boat. Our communication was almost entirely by email and something just 'felt right' about the deal.

Last night he arrived in Gananoque and this morning we loaded the Fairbanks on to his new trailer and he headed off back to British Columbia.

We hope he and his family get as much enjoyment from this vessel as we have had. She's a good boat and will serve them well. We'll miss Almost There, but we're looking forward to our first season on the Carver (yet to be named).
