Diva Survey Trip

s/v Diva in slings

          Way more than just the usual Shilshole survey, this was an adventure! Showing boats to Rick at Shilshole, I learned he had gone all the way to San Diego, to see a Yamaha 33, a troubled boat. Really - why not buy the one in Friday Harbor?

So he checked it out, decided to buy it, and brought in Portland surveyor Alison Mazon, who I've wanted to work with for years. With Alison and Rick's work schedule, and the tide limits of Friday Harbor, we could only haul out the boat in Anacortes. I roped in Bob, an experienced Yamaha owner, and while lost before we got to Anscortes, we had a great time, a very through survey, and managed to get the boat back to Friday Harbor, just in time to make the ferry - whew! What a good time. . .
