Thursday May 11th from Dana Point to Catalina to Dana Point Catalina is a great location for boats in Southern California. We had been there with our previous boat. At 35 miles away from Dana Point it took us about 5 hours to get there and 5 hours to get back. This is a nice first trip, not too far, not too close. It gave us a chance test things while underway and get some fun pictures and video. Jeff Merrill, who is our friend, boating mentor, and Nordhavn salesperson, came along to train us.

Kosmos Delivery Teaser

After almost three years of planning and waiting something has happened…

We took delivery of Kosmos! Woohoo!

We have stories, pictures and video to share. However we do not have the time to share them right now, but we will soon. Training and wrapping up the final things on the Kosmos is consuming all our time.

Some quick updates: We have been spending the night on the boat, it has been great. We had a licensed captain aboard to test us for insurance purposes, and we passed the test. We went to Catalina for our first shake down cruise. During that trip we had around 20 dolphins riding the wave that the front of the boat makes, and 3 tiny little sparrow-like birds that found their way into the pilothouse.

And.. And.. And… Ok, we need to get back to work. More training and more things to organize. As we mentioned before, we are looking forward to be able to truly relax and enjoy Kosmos. Right now it is hectic.

Kosmos is about 6 weeks away from being done. We sold our previous boat about a month ago, and because we were selling it, we did not get to use it much in the final few months. We have a issue here: Water withdrawls! Luckliy we found a solution to get us out on the water. Meet our new inflatable dinghy!

We took delivery of it in the morning and we got to buzz and row around Dana Point harbor. It was fun. And here is a picture of Kosmos from the dinghy. Continue reading →
