Check out my mate Chris........

He flew over to Florida the other day to take delivery of a yacht he had just purchased. The yacht, a Morgan Catalina 440 was moored and for sale in North Carolina, and because the selling company lost some money because of the hurricane, they dropped the price from $350,000 to $285,000. Chris bargained a bit more, and got it for $275,000.....after foreign exchange, it cost him $258,000 Aussie, so he got it for near on a 100 grand less than what he was prepared to pay for the same type of yacht a year ago. He picked it up from St Petersburgh in Florida yesterday.

He has invited me to fly over and go for a bit of a sail around the West Indies, and then probably sail back to Aussie. I'm undecided...I'll think about it.

Congrats to Chris - for getting such a deal on the type of boat he had always wanted!

Anyway girls, he is going to be cruising up and down the East Coast for a while before he heads for the West Indies.
If you do flag him down, just tell him Browny sent you. ;)

You are [I]thinking[I] about whether you will take him up on his offer for you to sail around a bit? I knew you weren't right. :p

Wom, is he getting as far North as Boston? You HAVE to let us know if he is - if he's gonna be making port on Cape Cod or Boston, we'd have to go meet him!
