Preparations......

We have been working feverishly for the past three months preparing our new baby for the cruising season.  While she is an impeccable boat, the routine maintenance has been dauntless.  How quickly we are discovering the joys of boat ownership...


Since purchasing her in August,  we had Martek install flybridge electronics (the prior Owner never drove her from the flybridge) and an anchor alarm.  New bimini top and flybridge cushions by G & G Canvas.  New bottom paint at Cracker Boy.  Complete rebuild of  "Little Girls" outboard at St. Lucie Outboard






Bottom Paint completed at Cracker Boy Boatyard - Ft. Pierce
 
 As much as we loved the original name (Sea Fox) and the fact that the boat was very well known; we felt it was time for a new name.


Fat Bottom Girl - Name installed by Race Signs

We've purchased an EPIRB, Hand Held GPS & VHF, new Givens Life Raft, etc. etc. etc..... seems like the list could go on forever.  However, I think we are finally prepared and ready to begin our adventure.  We are scheduled to depart on our first trip on November 08, 2010 (weather permitting).  So say a little prayer for us that the wind and sea gods will be in our favor and our maiden voyage will be a sucess!
